Re: [BackupPC-users] SMB backup failing

I have one Windows machine that is backing up flawlessly (other than
NT_SHARING_VIOLATIONs that are unavoidable). I have another that is
failing when it gets to a very large file. Because it failed before, I
increased the ClientTimeout to 72 (10x higher than default). I
deleted everything about the host that was failing and started again.

This looks like there's a 32 bit quantity that is rolling over and
crashing the BackupPC server process.
I thought maybe excluding that particular file would help, but
exclusions aren't working well for me. I tried to exclude like this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}
http://backup.flaredev.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=viewtype=doc
s#item_%24conf%7bbackupfilesexclude%7d = ['Documents and
Settings/Administrator/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/*']; And
it backed up all 20,000 files in that directory anyway.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JH
Can;t help with you file size problem but for BackupFilesExclude try
something like this.
#This seems to exclude correctly
#guide and LICENSE are excluded and the contents of relnotes are but
#not the directory itself
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'java' =
['\docs\relnotes\*', '\docs\guide', '\jdk1.5.0_04\LICENSE.rtf']

You should save mysql databases this way. The best way is to use a pre-dump script whcih dump tha database you want. For exemple: mysqldump mysqldump --add-drop-table -A -Q /home/backup/mysql.sql This command will dump all the mysql databases and save them as a mysql script in /home/backup.

So it should look like that:

That being said, there are 2 caveats I think should be mentioned. First, the default location for config files has changed. The main config file is in /etc/BackupPC and the individual host configs are in /etc/BackupPC. I assumed that the new version would migrate from the old without incident. Obviously I should have read the docs more closely! If you upgrade to 3.0.0 (by telling configure.pl the path to the current 2.x config.pl file) then all the config files will be used in place. The new location (below /etc/BackupPC) is only used on a new install. Second, which relates somewhat to the item above, is that the default full backup count is 1 (one). If, as happened to me, the install is done and doesn't find the old config files, some old backups may be deleted. It sounds like you did a new install, rather than an upgrade.

Basically this enables rsync to send files which are locked, e.g. in-use Outlook .pst-files, the Windows registry and pretty much everything else except EFS-encrypted files. Everything can be found here: http://iki.fi/~eliasp/rsync-vss The most useful thing is probably the rsync.msi-file which will install rsync under C:\Program Files\rsync. A zip-file is also provided which includes everything in the installer plus the installer as a WiX-source file. NOTE that this only works on Windows XP currently, I tried it on Server 2003, but for some reason it didn't work. There is a patch file which can be applied to the rsync 2.6.6 source found in cygwin. It's pretty simple stuff actually. Note that it needs a C++-compiler as I didn't have time to fiddle with the C-style COM. There were some other issues too, like the linker not finding CreateVssBackupComponents directly and fstat not working for files opened with CreateFile. You have to install Microsoft's VSS SDK and copy the include files and libraries to rsync-2.6.6/vss/inc and rsync-2.6.6/vss/lib respectively. -- Forwarded message -- To: Nicholas Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED], Elias Penttilä [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Kris Boutilier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 12:00:03 -0700 Subj: RE: [BackupPC-users] rsync with VSS-support -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nicholas Hall Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 11:33 AM To: Elias Penttilä Cc: backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] rsync with VSS-support On 4/10/06, Elias Penttilä [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ...

However, if someone knows a technique to shoehorn the Microsoft VSS server service into a Windows 2000 server I'd love to hear about it. Before anyone gets too carried away with this, they should probably find out if it is legal to distribute. Rsync is covered by the GPL which demands that all parts of a work must be redistributable under GPL terms or it can't be distributed at all. I assume that the VSS SDK code can't be. There's an exception for components that are normally distributed with the operating system that might apply since this is a download from Microsoft and the download procedure checks to see if you are running windows. However, I think the exception requires dynamic linking and for each user to obtain his own copy of the non-gpl'd component separately. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Forwarded message -- To: Carl Wilhelm Soderstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Travis Fraser [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Wed, 24 May 2006 17:52:33 -0400 Subj: Re:
Re: [BackupPC-users] SMB backup failing
I did get it to transfer 10gb of the 12gb file manually using smbclient. For whatever reason, I guess there was a 20 second gap in the transfer there and it timed out. I had to shut down smbclient, then open it again to establish a good connection to the server, and I'm using 'reget' to get the remainder of the file. It's apparently "working", if the timeout hadn't occurred.

Here's the XferLog Errors: Error reading file \video\2005\video2005raw.avi : Call timed out: server did not respond after 2 milliseconds Didn't get entire file. size=12776697964, nread=-1340081072 The first problem is the timeout. That could be due to anti-virus SW that completely checks a file (or directory) before you can open the file. You can increase the timeout but you need to recompile smbclient. Thanks. I'm not running any kind of virus software, but the link is a wireless one, so it's possible there are other sources of interference that make it impossible to transfer data for quite a while. I have a server that automatically checks for link loss and I get an email every so often that it went down, but the next 15 minutes (when it checks again), it's up. So there's an intermittent and brief complete failure of the link. Unfortunately, when smbclient times out, it may actually be that the server is completely unreachable, and bumping up the time won't fix that. It would be nice if, on a failed tranfer, a second chance is queued that starts where the first left off. I don't know enough about backuppc to say whether that involves an interceding link step to put the correctly downloaded files into a pool, or a special step that manually tries to reget the partial file before moving it to the /pc/name/new hierarchy, or what. Even automatically excluding the partial file on the second try and sending an email that it had to restart and skip the file would be preferable to failing with a partial backup. In fact, because of this one large file, nothing on my PC beyond this file will ever get into the backup. A slow internet connection, or a poor wireless connection, will have the same problem for very large files. Is smbclient based on UDP or TCP? If it's UDP, I could raise the server timeout to something really big, like 10 minutes or so, and if my link comes back up it'll work. With TCP, I'm just screwed, right? The second problem is a 32-bit roll-over bug in smbclient that only happens after you get the "Didn't get entire file" error when smbclient tries to pad the tar file. A bug and fix are filed on samba's bugzilla, but I doubt the fix has been applied yet. Ok, so it's a totally innocuous display bug. I'll ignore it. Thanks, JH - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
