Hi all
My previous two post were answered pretty quickly and i have been
impressed with the results, so thank you.
I am running backupPC on a ESX VM using an attached (via switch) LaCie
NAS drive mounted using SMB. Being a low cost drive this does not
support NFS or Hardlinks or much else really.
The setup:
OS:Ubuntu
NAS mounted using smb
273gig backuppc.img file formatted as ext2 and mounted on /var/lib/
backuppc (this is a 'work around')
The latest problem is what seems a very basic problem, Im am receiving
the 'Error:Unable to connect to BackupPC server' on all my hosts when
the .img file is mounted as /var/lib/backuppc
As soon as I unmount the backuppc.img file from /var/lib/backuppc
everything works fine.
These are my two mount points:
//192.168.10.70/backuppc on /mnt/net-storage type smbfs (rw)
/mnt/net-storage/backuppc.img on /var/lib/backuppc type ext2 (rw,loop=/
dev/loop0)
And this is what I am running to mount these.
smbmount //192.168.10.70/backuppc /mnt/net-storage -o
username=backuppc,password=backuppc,uid=backuppc,gid=backuppc
mount -o loop /mnt/net-storage/backuppc.img /var/lib/backuppc
I copied over the pc directory from the local /var/lib/backuppc
directory thinking that BackupPC requires this directory, but this did
not work.
I noticed that when I create files on the *.img file it uses root so i
tried to run 'mount -o loop /mnt/net-storage/backuppc.img /var/lib/
backuppc' using username/password=backuppc but this did not work.
I feel so close to actually running a backup. As I said earlier, one
door shuts and another one opens.
