Perhaps I didn't do the port forwarding correctly the last time I tried this. The other problem of course was with sites that have multiple servers behind a firewall. That would mean poking a few holes through a firewall, and opening SSH up. I know access can be restricted, but a lot of sites just don't like it. > I have VPN connections (currently CIPE but I'd probably use > openvpn now) to all of the places where I need backups so > I haven't worked very hard at ssh'ing into windows.

OpenVPN for all the clients that are either running Windows or don't want to open up SSH, and SSH for those Linux sites that don't mind. SSH is by far the simplest and fastest setup.

I haven't done it with backuppc, but it should work using ssh only as a port-forwarding tunnel. The only problem is that you don't know when the backup is complete so you might have to leave the ssh connection up most of the time. I have VPN connections (currently CIPE but I'd probably use openvpn now) to all of the places where I need backups so I haven't worked very hard at ssh'ing into windows.

That bit works, though once in a while the rsyncd service (on Windows) decides to die once in a while. What hasn't worked for, ever, is using ssh to connect to the Windows box, and then pull the backups down by connecting to the rsyncd.

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd on Windows can't handle utf8 filenames?
I have a big windows share to backup, it contains lots of user data, and therefore, I have plenty of international characters there. Unfortunately, this is where BackupPC fails to do the job :( smb method just breaks on "strange" filenames, and when I used rsyncd, it converts all "strange" characters into ? For example, "Üöäü" on the Windows side, would be "" in the backup, when made with rsync (I extracted the backup to see what happens). Has anyone more experience with BackupPC and UTF8 filenames?

Re: [BackupPC-users] specify a particular day for fulls
Hi Khaled,
Have you played with the $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} setting?
I don't know if it can do exactly what you are looking for because it
doesn't distinguish between full and incremental backups, but its
certainly the first method I would investigate.
It can be set on a per-host basis. I have mine set as follows:
# don't do any scheduled backups between 7am and 10pm
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin => 7.0,
hourEnd => 22.0,
weekDays => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
},
];
HTH, Andy

As far as I'm aware, you can only specify the interval between backups and

[BackupPC-users] Integer overflow in octal number
Hello List, I have been using BackupPC 2.1.1 (from Debian) to backup a number of linux hosts over RSync for some time without any difficulties. But recently I added a Windows 2000 server with several shares to be backed up over SMB and am getting the following error in the Xfer log: tarExtract: Integer overflow in octal number at /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarExtract line 224. So far these have only been recorded for full backups, but perhaps incremental backups are less likely to report the error just because less files are transferred. The details of the last full are as follows: Backup#: 4 Type: full TOTALS: #Files: 342257 Size/MB: 38932.6 MB/sec: 5.45 EXISTING FILES: #Files: 254509 Size/MB: 36390.8 NEW FILES: #Files: 102660 Size/MB:2550.6 A total of 9 Xfer errors were recorded for this full, where as 6 were recorded for the previous full. I attach the Xfer error log for the most recent full to save clogging up the list. I have compared the Xfer errors for the most recent full with the prior one but cannot find anything common. The errors mention completely different files. None of these files are very big. Oddly when I browse backups I find the files seem to be present! Does any one have any clue what might be going on, or any suggestions as to how I might further debug this?

But in this case, it seems that it happens when it approaches a directory which it can't open. Here is some log - it starts with a full backup, where BackupPC could access all files. Then some unaccessible directories were created, and incremental backup started. From that time on, I have only one full backup (when all files were accessible), and I'm unable to create an incremental backup. If I try to create a full backup, it also fails, and I have a "partial" backup.
