@Les Mikesell That makes sense then why RAID5 is bad for this. Now you know my trouble with Samba. Sure, if I can read the files they should be there, but they're not. This is why I stopped using Samba. It's like BackupPC get tired when using Samba and quits when it feels like it because.
I had the original volume / on /dev/md1 and /boot on /dev/md0. I dd'd /dev/md1 to /dev/sda1 then copied the files for /boot from a mounted /dev/md0 using cp. I reinstalled GRUB2 and got the machine to boot. From there I started the machine, all my files were intact and things appeared to work yet I noticed my graphs had large unfilling holes in them and my compressed pool information is not there. @Tyler J. Wagner I tried using Rsync on a Linux box, and it gave me some error about not being able to read 4 bytes. I'm assuming the user BackupPC is not configured to login as root on the machine I'm trying to backup. I've setup SSH keys before, but in this I'm assuming there's a lot more involved because the user BackupPC is backing things up and doing SSH and not root or my under-privilaged user account correct? And wouldn't running ssh-keygen on this machine screw up the keys already in place? Haha, that would be bad. And the example you gave, I'd need to be able to SSH into the machine as root correct? I don't have the ability to SSH in as root on this machine, I have to "sudo su -". Is there a way to append the authroized_keys file? What do you use for backing up localhost? I have Rsyncd setup, but I can use some other method like Rsync if needed. I remember the default being tar, but I remember hearing many times Rsync being a superior method of backup. @Sorin Srbu I'll be excited to hear of your findings. You clearly are working with higher-grade PCs than me. The fastest machine I've got is a Q6600 @ 3.2GHz and that one is the slowest to backup, but it also has the most files being backed up I believe; although, it also has an SSD and a 5x640GB RAID5 so I don't know what's going on. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by saturn2...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
