I am having this *exact* issue. However, I run a dedicated apache
server for BackupPC that I compiled myself. No modules are loaded
except mod_perl and mod_unique_id is not statically compiled either.
I've never had issue with starting the apache server like yourself.
However, I do have the issue of hte BackupPC::Lib->new failed error
requiring the backuppc daemon be restarted.
I should mention that sometimes backuppc will run for weeks without
issue, so you might not be out of the water yet (I hope you are!).

I’ve seen other users here have had this problem as well (judging

believe that I have found the answer to this problem, somewhat
accidentally:
In the process of setting up a script that would periodically check
the BackupPC log for the ‘BackupPC::Lib->new failed’ error, I needed
to do several restarts of the server. Apache wasn’t starting on its
own giving ‘nodename nor servname provided, or not known:
mod_unique_id' in the error log. Simply commenting out this module
solved the apache startup problem … and also, apparently, the
‘BackupPC::Lib->new failed’ error as well. The script I wrote has
not once fired a restart procedure since I commented out the
module. Previous behavior was that the error would crop up at least
twice a day and persist until I restarted BackupPC.
Now, I’m not quite certain what mod_unique_id does but I haven’t
been using it in any other apache installation so I haven’t been too
worried to do the research. If anyone would kindly explain any
portion of this problem, I’d be much appreciative. I plan on
writing a howto for BackupPC for Debian and Mac OS X and this piece
of info would be pretty handy.

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Backup_dump - Wrong User
I’ve recently needed to reinstall BackupPC on Mac OS X 10.5
Leopard. While it had worked previously on this platform, I’m
getting some very odd errors that driving me insane:
I’m able to run backups for a period of time but some point in time
during the day I’ll begin to get repeated iterations of the following:
/opt/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump: Wrong user: my userid is 501,
instead of (tlctoor)
Please su tlctoor first
BackupPC::Lib->new failed
After I get this, newly initiated processes will fail but previously
active processes seem to continue. I then need to restart the
BackupPC service to get backups back on track.
What am I missing, where should I look?
