[BackupPC-users] rsyncd problem
I am having a problem with rsyncd between backuppc and a remote windows box running the rsync package provided on the backuppc page at sourceforge. I installed a clean version of backuppc 3.0.0, moving all the old backups from 2.1.1 to an alternate machine should I need them later. The problem is that rsyncd will start this job, get through the 21 Gb of data in the apps share from the windows server, then crash out on getting the 60 Mb from the UPC share. Here is the rsyncd.conf file from the windows server: use chroot = false max connections = 2 log file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.log pid file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.pid lock file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.lock [apps] path = g:/apps comment = apps folder strict modes = false auth users = backuppc secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets hosts allow = 192.168.2.1 read only = false list = true [UPC] path = f:/UPC comment = UPC files auth users = backuppc secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets hosts allow = 192.168.2.1 strict modes = false read only = false list = true The important part of this host's config file on the backuppc server: $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd'; $Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['UPC', 'apps']; $Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc'; The password is obviously good, as backuppc can get the apps share, and both shares set the password in the same file, c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets. There is nothing about a failure in the rsyncd.log on the windows machine. Here are the last few lines of the backuppc error log: Starting file 22782 (sota.ini), blkCnt=0, blkSize=2048, remainder=0 sota.ini: size doesn't match (559 vs 0) sota.ini got digests c81c77dbde3c37fb88c32111ec7f12ec vs c81c77dbde3c37fb88c32111ec7f12ec [ skipped 1 lines ] attribWrite(dir=fapps/TEMP_UPD) -> /var/lib/backuppc/pc/mas90-server/new/fapps/fTEMP_UPD/attrib attribSet(dir=fapps, file=sota.ini) Finished deltaGet phase 0 Child is sending done Got done from child Finished deltaGet phase 1 Got stats: 11936366 4294967295 3407242700 0 ('errorCnt' => 0,'ExistFileSize' => '11915083623','ExistFileCnt' => 1,'TotalFileCnt' => 22395,'ExistFileCompSize' => 1437882252,'TotalFileSize' => '21640166794') attribWrite(dir=fapps) -> /var/lib/backuppc/pc/mas90-server/new/fapps/attrib attribWrite(dir=) -> /var/lib/backuppc/pc/mas90-server/new//attrib Got exit from child Done: 22395 files, 21640166794 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share UPC) Backup aborted (No files dumped for share UPC) Here is the XferLOG, which is nearly identical: Starting file 22782 (sota.ini), blkCnt=0, blkSize=2048, remainder=0 sota.ini: size doesn't match (559 vs 0) sota.ini got digests c81c77dbde3c37fb88c32111ec7f12ec vs c81c77dbde3c37fb88c32111ec7f12ec pool 777 544/513 559 sota.ini attribWrite(dir=fapps/TEMP_UPD) -> /var/lib/backuppc/pc/mas90-server/new/fapps/fTEMP_UPD/attrib attribSet(dir=fapps, file=sota.ini) Finished deltaGet phase 0 Child is sending done Got done from child Finished deltaGet phase 1 Got stats: 11936366 4294967295 3407242700 0 ('errorCnt' => 0,'ExistFileSize' => '11915083623','ExistFileCnt' => 1,'TotalFileCnt' => 22395,'ExistFileCompSize' => 1437882252,'TotalFileSize' => '21640166794') attribWrite(dir=fapps) -> /var/lib/backuppc/pc/mas90-server/new/fapps/attrib attribWrite(dir=) -> /var/lib/backuppc/pc/mas90-server/new//attrib Got exit from child Done: 22395 files, 21640166794 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share UPC) Backup aborted (No files dumped for share UPC) And the last bit of confusing evidence I can produce, when I rsync at the command line, it grabs all 60 Mb of data from the UPC share without any difficulty [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ rsync -av [EMAIL PROTECTED]::UPC temp/ Password: receiving file list ... done ./ 559D1000 B1DEF900 BD844600 BELK217782.xls BELK230565.xls BELK230594.xls BLOOMINGDALES 0208235.xls BLOOMINGDALES.xls BLOOMINGDALES228036.xls BLOOMINGDALES228037.xls BLOOMONGDALES196008.xls BOSVOVS228049.xls Copy of NEWUPC.xls E-mail.lnk EF596A10 JCP164611.xls JCP235776.xls JCP238510.xls MACYSWEST216630.xls MACYW228033.xls MARSHALLFIELDS215899.xls MARSHALLFIELDS215899A.xls MARSHALLFIELDS219859.xls MARSHALLFIELDS219859A.xls MF230739.xls MF288052.xls NEWUPC.xls NEWUPC1.xls NEWUPC2006.xls NEWUPC218464.xls OLDUPC.xls so forth, and so on.

I have actually restored VMs from backups made while the machine was not quiesced; and it worked. That said, if I actually really care about the data on the machine, I'll back it up separately (and exclude the disk images from the regular backups). -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com - Take Surveys.

You can have $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} _or_ $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} but not both for smb. Excludes are relative to the share name.

[BackupPC-users] syntax for excluded files
Hi, I'm unable to find instructions in /etc/backuppc/config.pl showing whether the files to exclude are relative to the included files or not. I'm not sure if I say: $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/some-path', '/another-path]; having: $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = '/home/'; the excluded files will be /home/some-path and /home/another-path, or the absolute /some-path and /another-path. I would assume the former, but can't be sure. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, -- Seb - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC 3 load
I wrote: I recently upgraded to BackupPC 3 and although the idea of being able to run the nightly jobs, the trashClean job and dump jobs all at the same time is nice it seems it's a bit too much for our server (load = 10 at the moment). Can I make backup runs and nightly jobs mutually exclusive again or do I have to adjust my WakeupSchedule to make sure no backups are started in the first ten hours after the nightly jobs start? Any ideas on how we can reduce the load? More/less nightly jobs? Less concurrent backups? Other tips? We used to backup 15 servers onto one BackupPC server, but now almost all of our backups are failing and the load is through the roof. Can we just go and install BackupPC 2.1.3 again? Nils.

[BackupPC-users] Get a file list via command line?
Hello, how can I get a list of backed up files via the command line? Currently I use /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h amaretto_fotos -n -1 -s Fotos . \ | tar tf - But this is quite slow.
