Hi, I have BackupPC version 3.1 and I'm trying to backup the localhost using tar.
TarClientCmd is /usr/bin/sudo /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals and /bin/tar --version gives: tar (GNU tar) 1.15.92 The backup fails with: 2007-12-04 22:09:50 full backup started for directory /data 2007-12-04 22:27:23 Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share /data) 2007-12-04 22:27:28 Backup aborted (No files dumped for share /data) and the funny thing is that under the backup directory pc/hostname/new/f%2fdata all the directories have names which look like the contents of the files, so for example I have from ls -l things like: drwxr-x--- 3 backuppc users 4096 Dec 4 22:44 f59-1">%0d%0a<META\ content\=3D"MSHTML\ 6.00.2900.2180"\ name\=3DGENERATOR>%0d%0a<STYLE></ This looks like the contents of an email and one of the first directories it should be backing up is my spam database. This looks wrong to me as my other machines which I have backed up (Windows using cygwin/rsync) have directories which match the actual directories on the clients (e.g. drwxr-x--- 48 backuppc users 4096 Dec 4 20:09 fMy\ Documents). I had a look through the archives but couldn't find anything to match this. Thanks if anyone can point me into doing some diagnostics. -- Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
