[BackupPC-users] Random Daily Backups remain idle, can be started manually 4.

2016-04-15 Thread terryls
Thank you very much! This all makes sense, although I don't know what caused the change. I will increase MaxBackups and MaxUserBackups from 2 to 6 to see if it makes any difference. I think the WakeupSchedule setting was changed to [23] a few years ago to prevent slowing the network down durin

Increasing the WakeupSchedule to 1, 2, 3, 4, 20, 21, 22, 23, MaxBackups to 4 and MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs to 4 Allows all 12 servers to backup every night. The previous admin loaded this BackupPC install on a primary database server so it's fairly important to have the backups complete overnight

Yes, This is an interesting issue. I just started to have this problem a few days ago. There isn't much history about this error on line. Here's what I know. It appears to be affecting Windows machines, my Linux machines backup fine. I had a previous issue with scheduling which was resolved just

I've tried removing Windows updates from 4/18/16 and had no change. A couple of the servers don't have updates running automatically so they weren't installed anyway. I am running Samba version 3.4.7 so the Debian Samba bug report doesn't appear to be the issue. +

What could cause Windows servers to suddenly fail backups while Linux servers continue to backup? Windows servers have a mix of firewall off/on, have a mix of updates on/off... I have restored the configuration files on the backup server from a date prior to the issue, I can get different results
