[BackupPC-users] Keep the last n revisions of files
Hello all Maybe this is a feature request, and maybe it is just a show off how dumb I am---let's see. What would be really great to have is the possibility to ensure that I have the last n revisions of files; no matter how many fulls or incrementals. I guess this is not the main goal of BackupPC (that is, to somewhat be a revision control system) but nontheless it is a feature (at least) I would higly appreciate, and I guess my users would also appreciate it. I read the comprehensive config.pl file, the FAQ, scanned through the latest 50 e-mails in -users and -devel, searched the mailing list and of course googled. However, I haven't found anything about what I've just described. Maybe I have just searched for the wrong terms? Any pointers, good ideas, work-arounds or whatever is of course appreciated.

Do you plan to list specific files for which revisions should be retained (in which case there's much more overhead, a more complicated config, but the storage requirement would be lower) or apply the revision settings to every file? If the former (a list of files), then it sounds like something that's best handled via a revision control system. In the simplest sense, you could check-in files manually. This could also be automated, so that when BackupPC connects to the client to initiate a backup, it runs a script first. The script would traverse the filesystem (ie, using find -newer) or check specified files, and automatically check them in to a revision control system running on the client prior to the backup. If you're thinking about applying the concept of saving revisions to the whole system, then it sounds more like you want a filesystem snapshot, rather than a file-by-file revision history. This is much more common in backup systems, and would give you the ability to restore the entire system (or individual files) to a specified point in time. Be aware that there are many files that change often where you probably don't need or want to keep successive revisions (caches, mail spool files, mailboxes, config files that maintain a list of last used files, etc.). = = Just to make it totally clear (I hope): If a file has changed when it is = being backed up, if there is less that n revisions of the file backed up, = do nothing (just back it up as usual), otherwise (back it up and) delete = the oldest revision of the file. That sounds computationaly expensive, and would signifcantly increase both storage and IO. Without a database backend to track file versions (the number of revisions, and the backup number), it would be extremely impractical. You're describing a much more traditional backup system, where each backup is stored onto separate volumes (CDs, disk-based files, tapes, etc.), and each backup has it's own file list and expiration period. This has some advantages (and disadvantages) over BackupPC, and would be much better suited to your revision scheme. = = Actually there would be other possiblities: you could also (1) set a bit = that indicates that the file can be deleted, you could (2) delete all the = oldest revisions such that there is exactly n left, and maybe some other = strategy I haven't thought of yet.

This is similar to amanda, in that it dynamically chooses which filesets to backup, based on the queue and backup frequency. However, I see this as having limited application.

[BackupPC-users] Moving installation and Samba and/or rsyncd problems
Hello all: First of all, if I can get backuppc working it looks to rock! I have a couple of questions: I am running Ubuntu V6.06 LTS, Backuppc V2.1.2. 1) My installation is in the wrong place. It is on my bootable 20GB hard drive, not my 160GB second drive. How do I move my installation and still keep my backups and such? 2) I am backing the server that BackupPC is loaded on, a couple of PC's and will soon be adding a Mac to the network. The Samba configuration seems to work great with the localhost but always failed on the PC. I was getting a tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME. After trying to work it out I switched to rsyncd and have started getting backups. Now the backup gets partway through and the fails with a Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely). I don't care so much if I use Samba or rsyncd, can comeone help with the configuration of one or the other? Thanks in advance... Eric - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

This probably means you did not cd to the unpacked BackupPC distribution before running configure.pl, eg: cd BackupPC-3.0.0beta1 ./configure.pl Please try again. you should actually run the command cd BackupPC-3.0.0beta1 perl configure.pl Yep - did that too and makes no difference - same error both ways. hmmm The script must be run as root, running either "perl configure.pl" or "./configure.pl" from inside the extracted directory depends on your distribution and where perl is located. Other than that i've never seen that before, perhaps others on the list will be able to help out Yes - running as root... perhaps its got something to do with trying to upgrade from 2.1.1. When i did it i upgraded from 2.1.2. How about trying to upgrade to 2.1.2, then try going up to 3 Regards, Les - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
