[BackupPC-users] Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)
Folks, I'm running backuppc-2.1.2 on Gentoo stable with rsync-2.6.6-r1. I'm running into issues with backups failing with the error "Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)" as stated in the subject. I've tried downgrading rsync in addition to removing rsyncP (one user who I can backup from doesn't have this installed), to no avail. This user has rsync-2.6.6-r1, same as the others. I thought this had to do with exclusions which I commetned out and tested, to no avail. However, what I *did* notice was that rsync seems to crap out when trying to copy a socket. Here is the output from a command line dump: backupbox justin # sudo -u apache BackupPC_dump -v -f barbara cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 barbara cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING barbara.XX.com (10.20.30.195) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from barbara.XX.com (10.20.30.195): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.090 ms --- barbara.XX.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.090/0.090/0.090/0.000 ms cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 barbara cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING barbara.XX.com (10.20.30.195) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from barbara.XX.com (10.20.30.195): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.078 ms --- barbara.XX.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.078/0.078/0.078/0.000 ms CheckHostAlive: returning 0.078 started full dump, share=backups Connected to barbara:873, remote version 29 Connected to module backups Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --devices --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --exclude=/home/*ublic --exclude=*.raw* --exclude=Data/ --exclude=data/ --exclude=/home/data --exclude=/home/Data --exclude=*.pik --exclude=*.b3s* --exclude=*.b3o* --exclude=*.mp3 --exclude=*.Mp3 --exclude=*.mP3 --exclude=*.MP3 --ignore-times . . overflow: flags=0x74 l1=114 l2=1701667173, lastname=barbara/.gnome-system-monitor.barbara overflow: flags=0x72 l1=45 l2=3681840, lastname=barbara/.gnome-system-monitor.barbara overflow: flags=0x63 l1=105 l2=1701602162, lastname= fileListReceive() failed Done: 0 files, 0 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed) cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 barbara cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING barbara.XX.com (10.20.30.195) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from barbara.XX.com (10.20.30.195): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.093 ms --- barbara.XX.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.093/0.093/0.093/0.000 ms cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 barbara cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING barbara.XX.com (10.20.30.195) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from barbara.XX.com (10.20.30.195): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.078 ms --- barbara.XX.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.078/0.078/0.078/0.000 ms CheckHostAlive: returning 0.078 Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed) dump failed: fileListReceive failed The lines that seems interesting are these: overflow: flags=0x74 l1=114 l2=1701667173, lastname=barbara/.gnome-system-monitor.barbara overflow: flags=0x72 l1=45 l2=3681840, lastname=barbara/.gnome-system-monitor.barbara overflow: flags=0x63 l1=105 l2=1701602162, lastname= I'm not sure what to try from here.

[BackupPC-users] no mail sent when doing partial backup
Hi!
A little question about the process that sends mails during the night :
I think the e-mail is sent only if there is no backup for a host for the
last $Conf{EMailNotifyOldBackupDays} days.
And what about the partial backup?
For exemple, a host summary :
Host host_1 Backup Summary
* This PC is used by [EMAIL PROTECTED] (and user).
* Last email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] was at 21/2 05:44, subject
"BackupPC: no recent backups on host_1".
* Last status is state "idle" (backup failed) as of 29/3 11:18.
* Last error is "Unexpected end of tar archive".
* Pings to host_1 have succeeded 1 consecutive times.

Everyday a partial backup is done (because of an other problem)
The oldest correct backup is 50 day old... and the user had no warning
message.
Thanks for any suggestion or answer.

[BackupPC-users] Question
Hello,
I have a school project where i need to install a backup server.
I have installed backuppc but now i came to the schedule problem!
I don`t know how to schedule. I have already tride something with Cronjob
what i have read on the website. And some other links. But it won`t work.
I have tride $Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [22.5]; on a time 5 minut`s later so i
could see if it would work. But it won`t.
Is there a manual how i can schedule a backup?
I have read the manual but can`t come with the conclusion.
Please help.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Integer overflow in octal number
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. This should be fixed in BackupPC-2.1.2pl1. Craig Hi Craig, Thanks and sorry - I should have figured that out for myself. But its good that its in the mailing list archives now.
