Re: [BackupPC-users] Can't find compress::zlib
Thanks very much Holger, I spend a couple of hours yesterday goggling around and I finally solved the problem, although I am not fully sure how. Bear with me because I am not a hacker or technogeek, far from it "-) Anyway I found this Cpan thing that I had to run. In it, the command is install Compress::Zlib You have to reply some questions (mostly I just pressed the enter key because I was not sure) After a long time and hundreds of line scrolling by, it was finally installed. I am very happy to report that the backup is fine...and compressed!

The question commonly asked is whether you might have two versions of Perl installed. Which path to perl is contained in the #!-line of BackupPC_dump? Using that path, what error message does /path/to/perl -MCompress::Zlib -e 1 give you? It *should* give no error message at all, but then you wouldn't be getting your error. If it does give an error, it should list which paths in @INC were searched. Is /usr/lib/perl5 among them? Why not? :) Permissions *should really* be setup correctly by the Ubuntu package ... In case your Ubuntu 6.10 package is different from mine (or for reference), you can check which files it includes with 'dpkg -L libcompress-zlib-perl'. Regards, Holger - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

I've made this contrib myself last year, and I was quite noob in linux in general, and I just write a very simple script which rsync all the files in one time. When I was testing it, it was working because I only had a few data backed up. But now, on a prod server, I have a 36 Go cpool (with a lot of little files) and when the copy occures, rsync takes about 700 Mo of ram. So it can work, but be carefull.

It's always a bad idea to take something which is under the control of your package management system and randomly change file contents, paths etc. should I install the unstable .deb package? Yes. As far as I can figure out without actually installing apache et al. on my not-really-so-test system it doesn't pull in any dependencies not satisfiable within sarge. If you don't want an entry for sid in your sources.list, download the package (eg. 'rsync ftp.de.debian.org::debian/pool/main/b/backuppc/backuppc_3.0.0-2_all.deb /tmp' - you could have used wget, but we all love rsync, don't we? ;-), install it with 'dpkg -i /tmp/backuppc_3.0.0-2_all.deb' and, if that should complain about failed dependencies, install those with 'apt-get -f install' (which should then also configure the backuppc package and exit successfully). Of course, if you "updated" your 2.1.1 deb to 3.0.0 with the tar installer, things may be more difficult. Apparently you've moved around your configuration, so that's probably the case. For a clean package *update*, everything should probably look exactly like it does with the version you're updating *from* cleanly installed before you attempt the update (that's 2.1.1 in your case). Hint: have a look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/backuppc.list ... Regards, Holger Excellent explanation! after making a minor changes in config.pl and httpd.conf, dir name, backuppc 3.0.0 finally fully functional! Thanks a lot for the help.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Howto backup BackupPC server
Yes thats the rpm "smeserver-backuppc-1.0-5" (great job by the way) The servers have about 150G of uncompressed data. So the pool on the backup server should be very large. In terms of RAM, the BackupPC server has 1G and the remote-backup server has about 512mb. I am gonna run a test over the weekend (on the LAN) I dont know too much about programming, but I have alot of experience with Linux. If you need any help or testing with smeserver-backuppc-version3, let me know. I have lots of spare boxes and an idle static IP.

[BackupPC-users] Do I need an index.html?
I have just installed BackupPC v3.0.0 on Fedora 6. Everything seems to have gone cleanly, and configure.pl copied lots of GIFs, a few PNGs, and a couple of style sheets into /var/www/html. However, there is no file named 'index.html'. From the little that I know about Apache, it looks for a file with that name in order to know where to begin. Since there is no index.html, when I connect to the server I see the Fedora-default page rather than BackupPC's page. What have I done wrong? Can anyone offer some good trouble-shooting suggestions?

[BackupPC-users] rsync problem
Hello,
I already made a lot of backup with rsync xfer but here, I have a problem !
" Remote[1]: rsync: link_stat "/data/nsf/3c/." failed: No such file or
directory (2)"
above some details...
As you see, no problem to acces the data with "backuppc" user from server using
ssh :
===
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [/home/backuppc/pc] ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -al /data/nfs/3c
total 1432

-rw-rw-r-- 1 nobody nogroup 57856 Feb 9 09:26 070209_sbx_listeCLC.xls
...
===
in the linux4.pl file, I create a lot of "RsyncShareName" to backup in the
/data/nfs tree
===
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/data/nsf/3c',
'/data/nsf/acha',
'/data/nsf/adfiweb',

];
===
I use 'sudo' with these parameters
===
$Conf{RsyncClientPath} = 'sudo /usr/bin/rsync';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
===
and it works... here the version of client rsync :
===

That's your $Conf{ClientTimeout} expiring. It is supposed to be an
interval with no activity but under some circumstances it applies to the
entire backup run. Try setting it much higher.
