[BackupPC-users] Data Directory
Hi, I've install backuppcpc on debian stable, and I would like to change the data directory location. I've try dpkg-reconfigure backuppc, and read the /etc/backuppc/config.pl, but I've found nothing. I think I (maybe) can do a symbolic link, but I'm not sure that's a clean way. Thanks in advance for all help -- Cordialement - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

From the package management system's point of view it would probably be cleaner to mount your destination partition (if it is a whole partition) on /var/lib/backuppc or to use a bind-mount (if it is not a whole partition). Copy (or move) anything the package put under /var/lib/backuppc over to the new destination first (or even establish the mount before installing the package). You probably do not have a populated pool there yet, so that should not be a problem. Regards, Holger - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[BackupPC-users] excludes on windows with spaces in names
Hello again list!
I'm running into some trouble with excluding directories in rsyncd.conf on a
windows machine. The machine in question is dying quickly, and rarely stays
alive for more than 30 minutes or so. Because of that, I'm trying to
slowly increment what is being backed up to the debian server.
The main problem is the excludes list is supposed to be separated by spaces,
and of course everyone's favorite OS has spaces in directory names. I tried
to get around this with quotation marks, but the things I ask to be excluded
are still included. I also tried adding explicit excludes to the config on
the backuppc, and that similarly didn't take. Here are the key configs -
From the host.pl on the backuppc -
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'documents'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/Administrator/' = [
''
],
'/Application Data/' = [
''
],
'/All Users/' = [
''
],
'/Default User/' = [
''
]
};
This is the rsyncd.conf that is running from the cygwin-rsyncd
2.6.8_0package from the backuppc page at sourceforge. I am trying to
start with the
smallest possible amount of data from this machine, then I'll include things
one directory at a time.
use chroot = false
max connections = 4
log file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.log
pid file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.pid
lock file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.lock
[documents]
path = c:/Documents and Settings
comment = Everything
strict modes = false
auth users = backuppc
secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
hosts allow = 192.168.68.103
read only = false
list = true
exclude = /Administrator/ /All Users/ /Application Data/ /Default
User/ /Jennie and Andy/.java/ /Jennie and Andy/.javaws/ /Jennie and
Andy/.jpi_cache/ /Jennie and Andy/Application Data/ /Jennie and
Andy/Cookies/ /Jennie and Andy/Desktop/ /Jennie and Andy/Favorites/
/Jennie and Andy/Local Settings/ /Jennie and Andy/My Documents/ /Jennie
and Andy/NetHood/ /Jennie and Andy/PrintHood/ /Jennie and Andy/Recent/
/Jennie and Andy/SendTo/ /Jennie and Andy/Start Menu/ /Jennie and
Andy/Temp/
All in all that should leave only about 10 Mb worth of data under
c:\Documents and Settings that should be copied to the server, but every
attempt at rsyncing grabs absolutely everything in documents and settings.
Thanks for the help.

Re: [BackupPC-users] excludes on windows with spaces in names
Have you tried escaping the spaces with a \ ? Like:
'/Application\ Data/'
Not sure if that will work, but it sounds like it's worth a shot.

[BackupPC-users] Restore problems
I'm running BackupPC v3x and have had no issues with regard to doing backups both rsync for Linux and rsyncd from Windows machines. I'm am having issues however, with doing restore opperations. I have a Windows 2000 server which I having been successfully backing up every day and I want to restore the data drive on this server to (an alternate location) a new Windows 2003 server using the rsyncd method. What happens is that the restore goes fine for about the first 4GB of data and then eventually comes back with a cannot read 4 bytes restore failed error. I tried a couple times but the same thing keeps happening. I then thought that I would try the TAR restore option but again all went well until it reached 3.99GB and then the transfer seems to stop as the is no futher activity in the pop-up transfer window. My transfer rate seemed to maintain at around 5MB/sec throughout the transfer. My question is what could be wrong as it is great to see all your files that have been backed-up but it's useless if you cannot restore them. I know that some of you likely have restores or backups that are far larger than my 40 or 50GB. Any assistance greatly appreciated. Ed - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [BackupPC-users] excludes on windows with spaces in names
The modified parts of the files now look like:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/Administrator/' = [
''
],
'/Application\ Data/' = [
''
],
'/All\ Users/' = [
''
],
'/Default\ User/' = [
''
]
};
and on windows:
exclude = /Administrator/ /All\ Users/ /Application\ Data/ /Default\
User/ /Jennie\ and\ Andy/.java/ /Jennie\ and\ Andy/.javaws/ /Jennie\
and\ Andy/.jpi_cache/ /Jennie\ and\ Andy/Application\ Data/ /Jennie\

Andy/PrintHood/ /Jennie\ and\ Andy/Recent/ /Jennie\ and\ Andy/SendTo/
/Jennie\ and\ Andy/Start\ Menu/ /Jennie\ and\ Andy/Temp/
I didn't think it would be necessary on the windows machine as it handled
c:\Documents and Settings without special regards to the whitespace in the
path, but figured it was better safe than sorry.
Unfortunately, it still grabs the entire contents of Documents and Settings.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Restore problems
It sounds a lot like you've hit some bugs in cygwin/rsync/smb bugs? from the faq: Smbclient is limited to 4GB file sizes. Moreover, a bug in smbclient (mixing signed and unsigned 32 bit values) causes it to incorrectly do the tar octal conversion for file sizes from 2GB-4GB. BackupPC_tarExtract knows about this bug and can recover the correct file size. So smbclient transport works up to 4GB file sizes. Rsync running on Cygwin is limited to either 2GB or 4GB file sizes. More testing needs to be done to verify the file size limit for rsync on various platforms. brien Ed Burgstaler wrote: I'm running BackupPC v3x and have had no issues with regard to doing backups both rsync for Linux and rsyncd from Windows machines.

Re: [BackupPC-users] excludes on windows with spaces in names
I did, and unfortunately it made no difference. Here is the rsyncd exclude
info I based my file on -
# --exclude *.o would exclude all filenames matching *.o
# --exclude /foo would exclude a file in the base directory called foo
# --exclude foo/ would exclude any directory called foo.
# --exclude /foo/*/bar would exclude any file called bar two levels below a
base directory called foo.
# --exclude /foo/**/bar would exclude any file called bar two or
more levels below
a base directory called foo.
the full page is http://www.ss64.com/bash/rsync.html
I'm guessing the translation from bash to winworld is where my problem is
occurring.

[BackupPC-users] {Fraud?} {Disarmed} Re: {Fraud?} {Disarmed} Re: excludes on windows with spaces in names
Jim,
Here is a snippet from my exclude list, which works using rsyncd on a
Win2k box:
/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/*
The spaces are not a problem, for me at least. But, I did have
considerable difficulty getting rsyncd.conf to behave when I placed the
share as anywhere on my drive that had spaces in it. I had to resort to
using 8.3 contractions (dir /x) to make it work. This was true for the
log file locations, secret file locations, etc. Other people have
reported no problems using the same package, so I'm at a loss to explain it.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is, if you set your share to be a directory
with spaces in it, perhaps that is failing to match a folder at all, so
you get the root instead. This means your excludes will fail to match
as well, because / will not start in /Documents and Settings/ for you,
but instead / is c:/. You could try changing the share folder to be
/docume~1/ and see if that fixes your problem with excludes.
Good luck,
JH

# --exclude /foo/*/bar would exclude any file called bar two levels below a
base directory called foo.

I'm guessing the translation from bash to winworld is where my problem
is occurring.

I didn't think it would be necessary on the windows machine as it
handled c:\Documents and Settings without special regards to the
whitespace in the path, but figured it was better safe than sorry.
Unfortunately, it still grabs the entire contents of Documents
and Settings.

Hello again list!
I'm running into some trouble with excluding directories in
rsyncd.conf on a windows machine. The machine in question is
dying quickly, and rarely stays alive for more than 30
minutes or so. Because of that, I'm trying to slowly
increment what is being backed up to the debian server.
The main problem is the excludes list is supposed to be
separated by spaces, and of course everyone's favorite OS
has spaces in directory names. I tried to get around this
with quotation marks, but the things I ask to be excluded
are still included. I also tried adding explicit excludes to
the config on the backuppc, and that similarly didn't take.
Here are the key configs -
From the host.pl on the backuppc -
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'documents'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/Administrator/' = [
''
],
'/Application Data/' = [
''
],
'/All Users/' = [
''
],
'/Default User/' = [
''
]
};
This is the rsyncd.conf that is running from the
cygwin-rsyncd 2.6.8_0 package from the backuppc page at
sourceforge. I am trying to start with the smallest possible
amount of data from this machine, then I'll include things
one directory at a time.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Restore problems
Ed Burgstaler wrote: I'm running BackupPC v3x and have had no issues with regard to doing backups both rsync for Linux and rsyncd from Windows machines. I'm am having issues however, with doing restore opperations. I have a Windows 2000 server which I having been successfully backing up every day and I want to restore the data drive on this server to (an alternate location) a new Windows 2003 server using the rsyncd method. What happens is that the restore goes fine for about the first 4GB of data and then eventually comes back with a cannot read 4 bytes restore failed error. I tried a couple times but the same thing keeps happening. I then thought that I would try the TAR restore option but again all went well until it reached 3.99GB and then the transfer seems to stop as the is no futher activity in the pop-up transfer window. My transfer rate seemed to maintain at around 5MB/sec throughout the transfer. My question is what could be wrong as it is great to see all your files that have been backed-up but it's useless if you cannot restore them. I know that some of you likely have restores or backups that are far larger than my 40 or 50GB. If your doing a straight restore (i.e. not downloading a zip file) then you shouldn't have a problem as it will restore files individually. The 4gb limit thing is more to do with a single file size limit. So if you've got 40gb of thousands of files and not one of them is 4gb it should restore fine. On the other hand if you are trying to restore/download via a zip archive then it will fail at 4gb because of the single file limitation. If you are getting errors doing the straight restore to the other host then what is getting restroed needs to be investigated - i.e. what files/folders where they are going to etc etc, what if any errors in log files, including the rsyncd.log file on the windows server.

Re: [BackupPC-users] excludes on windows with spaces in names
The error was found to be syntax on my config.pl. Carl has a good suggestion
on it, and Les Stott also helped off list. The problem was in the way I was
passing the excludes to backuppc. Rather than blocking the directory
Administrator within the share module [documents], I was trying to block
the module [Administrator] which doesn't exist, so it was excluded very
effectively!
None of the excludes should be done on the windows rsyncd.conf, that doesn't
seem to work at all. it can all be done through the individual host's
config. Here is the correct syntax to block directories with whitespaces
in their names from the backuppc server -
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'documents'
];
$Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} = '0';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' = [
'/Administrator/',
'/Application Data/',
'/All Users/',
'/Local Settings/',
'/Default User/',
'/Jennie and Andy/Desktop/',
'/Jennie and Andy/Local Settings/',
'/Jennie and Andy/My Documents/'
]
};
Obviously the asterisk could be changed to an individual module's name if
you need different excludes in each of your shares.
My thanks again go out to everyone!
Peace,
Jim

Re: [BackupPC-users] smb files truncated
All versions of Windows have a limit of 250-ish characters maximum for a full path, including the filename and extension, regardless of file system. I'm not aware of a lower limit imposed by the file system or OS, but it's likely related. Are you running Unicode-16 character set or UTF-16 on the server or Windows box, perhaps? That might halve the limit--I'm not sure. Hope that helps, JH Brendan Simon wrote: I'm get xfer errors on long path/filenames. total length is over 100 chars.
