So if I am understanding correctly, you basically manually build your own rsync command (including all the rsync arguments and the rsync source) and then store that as RsyncClientPath.
Hi Craig - nothing nearly so complicated. It’s just a wrapper script that re-execs the real rsync with some modified arguments. My desire was to have BackupPC not “know” that it’s running off of snapshots. So, for example if you’re backing up /export/home/1 and you’ve got a snapshot mounted at /snapshots/home/1, then the wrapper script re-execs rsync with /snapshot/home/1 when it sees an argument of /export/home/1. Since the rsync is relative to that path, BackuPC doesn’t realize that the files are coming from a different directory. So when I do restores, they properly go to what it thinks the share name is, i.e. /export/home/1. I can see how this works but it's not pretty. Would you be able to share the code snippet you use for v3? I have three scripts, but they’re ugly. Snap_share makes the snapshot, unsnap_share removes it and then snap_rsync “translates” the directory and re-execs rsync. They’re not commented, but I can put them on GitHub on Monday when get back to work. I fear though that it may be even uglier in v4, given the changes to how rsync is called. Maybe, though since this is transparent to BackupPC, I don’t think it would be very difficult to adapt at all. Ultimately, I think the right way would be to add something like the hash that I mentioned below, but that would be up to Craig to evaluate and consider. I’ll send you a link on Monday. --- Markus A.
