Re: [BackupPC-users] Rsyncd on Windows XP
Hi, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/utils/backuppc shows it to be backuppc (2.1.2-2ubuntu5) I found this by typing "ubuntu dapper backuppc" into google ;) - remember, google is your friend Your other problem is that the path should look like this: [cDrive] path = /cygdrive/c comment = Entire Drive auth users = backuppc secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets hosts allow = 192.168.1.10 I'm not sure on the syntax of path = cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings because of the spaces - but I'm sure that should work as well?

I created a script[see step 5] called BackupPC_statusUpdate modeled on BackupPC_sendEmail. The script parses the backup status of each host, creates an RSS feed and also sends the information by email. BackupPC_statusUpdate resides in $BinDir (/usr/lib/backuppc/bin/ in my case) and runs once each night. 2. Added $Conf{EMailStatusUserName} to the main config file /var/lib/backuppc/conf/config.pl for email address(es) to receive nightly status emails: # $Conf{EMailFromUserName} = 'backuppc'; +# +# Destination address for daily positive status email. +# +$Conf{EMailStatusUserName} = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; # # Destination address to an administrative user who will receive a 3. Added a call to BackupPC_statusUpdate in BackupPC_nightly (note the addition of the semicolon on the first system command below): if ( $opts{m} ) { print("log BackupPC_nightly now running BackupPC_sendEmail\n"); !system("$BinDir/BackupPC_sendEmail"); +# RSS and positive status email +# +print("log BackupPC_nightly now running BackupPC_statusUpdate\n"); +system("$BinDir/BackupPC_statusUpdate"); } 4. Added header (to advertise feed to RSS readers e.g. Firefox) on my backup server documentation webpage (this can be any spot viewable from your intranet) at /var/www/localhost/htdocs/index.html. This is an optional step. The link path is the place in the webroot that the main script writes the xml file. + 5.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Doing backups every 2 hours
The backup is doing now, but not in the right schedule. The config.pl is like this: $Conf{TarShareName} = '/backup'; $Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar'; $Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [10,12,14,16,18,20,22]; $Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = -1; $Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.04; $Conf{FullPeriod} = 0.97; $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 2; $Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 8; But, for instance, these are the times it was doing backup: Backup# Type Filled Start Date 7full yes 8/21 13:00 16 incrno 8/21 23:00 17 incrno 8/22 07:55 18 incrno 8/22 09:00 19 incrno 8/22 10:00 20 incrno 8/22 11:00 21 incrno 8/22 12:00 22 fullyes 8/22 13:00 23 incrno 8/22 14:00 24 incrno 8/22 15:00 I wonder why it is doing so.

[BackupPC-users] "host groups/grouping" in web interface - possible?
I make backup of about 50 hosts, and the list still grows. Right now, they're all displayed on one page, which makes things a bit messy. Is it possible to make "host grouping", where groups of hosts could be logically grouped (i.e., group_A for host_1, host_2, and group_B for host_3 and host_4)? On "host summary" page, depending on configuration, only groups of hosts would be displayed, each summarizing status for each group of hosts: group_A - 10 hosts backup OK, 2 hosts backup failed (in red) group_B - 10 hosts backup OK Clicking on a given group would display us hosts from that group, something already know from "host summary" page. Is it possible to do such host grouping with BackupPC 3.x, or is such a feature planned? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Hello, I'm using 2.1.2 and having some isssues with some folders.

I'm backing up a share on a windows 2000 server containing about 63000 files using the smb method. Anyone having any ideas of what is causing this, and why full backups works but not incremental ?
