I noticed that BackupPC would not start and gave a very cryptic message:
BackupPC cannot be started because important parameters are missing from
config.pl.
If you just upgraded BackupPC, please update /etc/backuppc/config.pl.
I noticed in the init script there is a grep for IncrLevel. If it's
missing BackupPC will not start. Since v4 is using reverse deltas there
isn't a need for this, is there? (The setting is missing from v4
documentation.)
Is this a hold-over from v2 to v3 upgrade?
For expediency I removed the check from my init script.
check_old_config()
{
BAD=0
CONF=/etc/backuppc/config.pl
grep -q IncrLevel $CONF || BAD=1
if [ "$BAD" = "1" ]; then
echo "BackupPC cannot be started because important parameters
are missing from config.pl."
echo "If you just upgraded BackupPC, please update
/etc/backuppc/config.pl."
exit 1
fi
}
Cheers!
