it certainly works for me.
what happens when you try to su to the backuppc user, and run
'/path/to/BackupPC_dump -f -v '?

[BackupPC-users] email notification
I am running Backuppc on Debian Sarge using the .deb package. Everything is working great, with one minor exception. I've been running this a few months, and I used to get an email with a subject something like "Backuppc Administrative Attention Needed" if a host or hosts did not run successfully. For the last few weeks, I have not gotten this. I checked the email queue on the machine, and it is clear. The machine sends other emails OK (like logcheck for instance). What should I check for this? Trey --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Change Location of Backup
On my debian system, all I did was to shut down backuppc, bring up the second file system, mount it somewhere temporarily, move all the data from /var/lib/backuppc over to it, then unmount and remount the second file system to /var/lib/backuppc and voila, I had all the data on a separate drive. Make it all permanent in fstab and restart backuppc and you should be good to go. Works fine as long as you're dedicating a partion/disk/volume to BackupPC. -Ken On Tue, 2006-03-07 at 21:58 +, Chris Willard wrote: > Hi, > > I have just installed BackupPC on my Debian system using the package > manager.

There are a number of reasons. - if the main disk fails, you can recover information off the backups to re-set it up. - if the backup disk fails, you can easily rebuild it with new information once the disk is replaced. - if you need to expand it to encompass more space, and you set it up with LVM, you can easily unmount the filesystem, expand it, check it, and re-mount it. - if you want to re-install your OS, you can do that without losing your data. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

RE: [BULK] RE: [BackupPC-users] Unexpected end of tar archive
Thanks for your help, Craig! I appreciate it so very much.
I've filed a bug report with Samba, as you suggested.
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3592
Out of curiosity, though, it seems that you still have an open bug that
references the same problem. In bug 563
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563
you mentioned "smbclient tar extract still only writes a maximum 2GB file;
not sure why." Am I right in assuming that this is the same issue?
In any event, I'm still unfamiliar with how I should go about fixing this in
my case. I assume that I need to download the source and modify it and
recompile smbclient... but I haven't a clue on how to "make padsize an
unsigned int", as you suggest. I'm afraid that I know some ASP and PHP, and
that's about it. Any direction about where to start with this would be
appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes. It's a bug in smbclient.
The problem is that smbclient emits the tar header (including the
file's size) before it notices the file is locked and cannot be
read. It's too late at that point to omit the file from the
tar archive. So it fills the tar archive with dummy data.
BackupPC notices the error message and removes the file,
since it just contains 0x0 data.
Looking at samba 3.0.7 (an old version, but the latest I have
around), samba-3.0.7/source/client/clitar.c does this:
/* pad tar file with zero's if we couldn't get entire file */
if (nread < finfo.size) {
DEBUG(0, ("Didn't get entire file. size=%.0f, nread=%d\n",
(double)finfo.size, (int)nread));
if (padit(data, sizeof(data), finfo.size - nread))
DEBUG(0,("Error writing tar file - %s\n", strerror(errno)));
}
and padit() is:
static int padit(char *buf, int bufsize, int padsize)
Notice the padsize is an int, so above 2GB (your file is just
over 2GB), it is negative!
For a start, if you make padsize an unsigned int then you
should be good to 4GB. But the real fix is to make padsize's
type SMB_BIG_UINT, which should be 64 bits on most modern
machines. You should also file a bug and patch with samba.

[BackupPC-users] CPU usage and low network usage
I was hoping to find out if anyone else has seen this situation: I have a dual core AMD Athlon 64 processor and when backups are taking place the processor usage generally sits at 100% on both cores (When multiple machines are being backed up), if not at 100% then generally very close to it At the same time, 3 hosts being backed up, two of which have gigabit links to the backuppc, and the other with a 100Mbit connect, and on the backuppc I am seeing a maximum network throughput of 13MB/s, but generally I'm getting 4mb/s sometimes as little at 300bps when all three hosts are being backed up[... this seems AWFLY slow.. I'm using Ubuntu 5.10, backing up via Rsyncd, all hosts being backed up are windows using Cygwin-RsyncD, all machines have 2GB memory and very fast cpu Memory usage on all the machines involved is not excessive, infact it's relatively low Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks for your help Jamie
