Update: MacOS X does funky permissions on this drive - when I first
sent the original mail, I was logged in as root, and the ownerships
were appearing as unknown:unknown for everything on this drive - but
when I logged in as the backuppc user, the ownership appears as the
backuppc user for both user and group.
The other odd thing is that the first 5 backups are browseable, but
backups 6-10 are not.
The first 5 were small test backups of a single directory on my
machine, then I added several more directories, and now they are not
browseable.
Help!

Subject: Unable to Browse Backups
So, I've recently gotten backuppc installed on OSX as the server,
backing up the local machine (my laptop) to an external firewire
drive, and it works great. I've even developed a simple script that
prevents the backups from occurring when the drive is disconnected.
However, after today's full backup, I went to browse back through
the backup to see how it all looked, and I get this error in the cgi:
Error: Can't browse bad directory name /
Here are the settings from my configuration:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath
$argList+';
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host
$rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/Users/kimball',
'/usr/local/mysql/data',
'/System/Library/Fonts'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/Users/kimball' => [
'Desktop/TV',
'Desktop/Downloads',
'Documents/Parallels/XP/winxp.hdd',
'Library/Caches'
]
};
There are no errors in the logs, and the directories created look
like this:
MainEngineering:/Volumes/Honker/Backups/pc/192.168.0.21/10 root# ls
-la
total 32
drwxr-x--- 8 unknown unknown 272 Sep 24 15:55 .
drwxr-x--- 27 unknown unknown 918 Sep 24 16:13 ..
-rw-r----- 1 unknown unknown 6148 Sep 24 15:31 .DS_Store
-rw-r----- 2 unknown unknown 109 Sep 24 15:55 attrib
-rw-r----- 1 unknown unknown 590 Sep 24 16:13 backupInfo
drwxr-x--- 40 unknown unknown 1360 Sep 24 15:55 f%2fSystem%
2fLibrary%2fFonts
drwxr-x--- 38 unknown unknown 1292 Sep 24 15:53 f%2fUsers%
2fkimball
drwxr-x--- 61 unknown unknown 2074 Sep 24 15:55 f%2fusr%2flocal%
2fmysql%2fdata
As you can see, the owner and group are set to unknown:unknown -
the backup process is definitely running as the backuppc user, so
I'm not sure why the ownership is being messed up like this.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
