Re: [BackupPC-users] Strange files in Windows 2003 backup
Tomas Florian writes: I think your patch worked. It wasn't a 100% conclusive test though because before I got your patch I was suspecting some kind of corruption in the cspool folder and I deleted the contents ... then I got your patch, applied that too and when the backup finished it was fine. I'd say probably it was your patch that fixed it though. If you would like me to confirm (by unapplying the patch and seeing if the problem returns) I can definitely do that for you - just let me know if that's what you'd like to see. In any case, it seems to be working for now. Thank you very much for your help, Tomas No need for additional tests - I'm confident that this fixed the problem. Thanks for the feedback.

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC is empty after data move
Hi, Our backup server (BackupPC 2.1.0) recently crashed so I setup a new server with BackupPC 2.1.2. It has a LVM of 400Gb (2x200Gb) where are stored cpool, pc, and pool. The actual install dir is /home/backuppc. I have symb link in /home/backuppc/data/ for cpool, pc and pool and backuppc starts fine. I've copied all the backuppc config files from the old server (hosts, config.pl, client.pl, status.pl, etc.) but backuppc doesn't seem to see any of them or something. When I run /home/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg status (info | jobs | hosts), I see a bunch of stuff for all my clients but the CGI interface is completely void of clients or backups. There isn't even a link to the main config file in the left menu bar... Only Status, Host Summary, Doc, FAQ, SF. Another anoying thing is that HTTP Auth won't work. I've followed and revised the instructions but it just won't ask. I've put this is /home/backuppc/conf/apache.conf: LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so PerlModule Apache2 Directory /var/www/cgi-bin/ SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry PerlOptions +ParseHeaders Options +ExecCGI Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 192.168.0 AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig AuthName Backup Admin AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /backups/data/conf/htpasswd (yes that file exists) Require valid-user /Directory And the apache.conf file is included in httpd.conf and apache runs fine. I've also tried to put the last 4 lines of the Directory directive in a .htaccess in /var/www/cgi-bin without any luck either. It still won't ask for auth. I don't know what else to look at. I've checked and re-checked all possible config files, I just don't see what's wrong. Please help!! :( Christophe Faribault Systems Administrator Webstorm Media Inc.

[BackupPC-users] removable/external HDs
Hola again, re those people that use Removable and or External HDs for their backuppc setups, was their any brand in particular that tickled - and should I be looking for a certain file system format on the HD? We are running a Debian stable machine currently, with backuppc installed (obv), backing up a Windows 2000 server, which is mostly used as a file/print server only. I'm looking for a way to make the backups I do more portable - as both computers are in the same office, I'd like to make sure I have offsite backups (via removable/portable HD) and my current backup-to-tape (NovaBackup) is about to be retired because it is brain dead.

You can reformat to match what you want.

If you don't restore often, you can simply swap the disk holding the archive frequently and let the next run catch up. If you always want a current copy on line plus a recent version off-site, you need a way to do an image copy of the working disk, either with raid mirroring or unmounting the archive partition while you copy it with dd to the external drive. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Since you don't appear to be an admin, the CGI interface only shows limited links and only the hosts for which you are the user (since it doesn't know who you are, then that means no hosts). Try running the printenv CGI script in the FAQ to see if REMOTE_USER is getting set. Craig --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems with backup scheduling
Guillaume Rousse writes:
I expected an unexplained files wipeout yesterday on my server at around
0:40. When searching my available backups, I had the unhappy surprise of
discovering my backup policy was absolutly not working: I just had a
full backup from 4 month ago, and an incremental backup from yesterday.
As this last one was currently updated since 00, I immediatly stopped
the update so as to keep it unchanged, but it was removed anyway by a
partial update, full of empty files :/
What I don't understand here is why I don't have one full backup from
one week maximum, and up to six additional daily incremental backups, as
configured with default values:
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 90;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 6;
$Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{IncrAgeMax} = 30;
There is no available space problem:
/dev/mapper/vg0-lv0 35189500 21006244 13110760 62% /var/lib/backuppc
These settings should be fine. What is in the per-PC log files?
It should show each backup and expiry.
Do you have any additional settings in the per-PC config file?
