I've never gotten backuppc in-place restores to work. I've been using backuppc for several years now, but I'm just now getting around to trying to figure that part out!
Anyway, here's what I've tried and my results (command line under su backuppc): $ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n 828 -s /home -t -r /leidav -p /leidav/ /leidav/zlink.txt /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate: bad share or directory '/home//leidav/zlink.txt' Done: 0 files, 0 bytes, 0 dirs, 0 specials, 1 errors So this command that I'm using is the command that the backuppc web interface creates when I select a file to restore while browsing a backup. So if the COMMAND is wrong, that's a bit annoying, but at least backuppc allows you to change the command. Hopefully it's not a problem in BackupPC_tarCreate - that would be even more annoying! Because it was putting "//" double slashes in the path, I thought that this was perhaps the problem. So I screwed around with the command by removing various slashes to see what the outcome was. The error was always the same even though the path DID reflect the changes that I made. Here are those tries: $ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n 828 -s /home -t -r /leidav -p leidav/ /leidav/zlink.txt /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate: bad share or directory '/home//leidav/zlink.txt' Done: 0 files, 0 bytes, 0 dirs, 0 specials, 1 errors $ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n 828 -s /home -t -r /leidav -p /leidav/ leidav/zlink.txt /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate: bad share or directory '/home/leidav/zlink.txt' Done: 0 files, 0 bytes, 0 dirs, 0 specials, 1 errors $ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n 828 -s /home -t -r /leidav -p /leidav /leidav/zlink.txt /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate: bad share or directory '/home//leidav/zlink.txt' Done: 0 files, 0 bytes, 0 dirs, 0 specials, 1 errors $ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n 828 -s home -t -r /leidav -p /leidav/ /leidav/zlink.txt /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate: bad share or directory 'home//leidav/zlink.txt' Done: 0 files, 0 bytes, 0 dirs, 0 specials, 1 errors Searches for "bad share or directory" have not turned up any useful information for me. Any ideas out there about what it's really complaining about?
