Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc Does Not Like Mixed-Case Host Config File?
Norbert writes:
I created a new share on an existing web server that I am backing up. The
host configuration file was called '1and1-MW-common.pl', consistent with
the case of the directory that I was backing up. I had added
'1and1-MW-common 0 user' to the backuppc 'hosts' file. The backups were
not starting, supposedly because of slow PING times, even though I had set
'$Conf{PingMaxMsec} = 1000;' in the configuration file. To make a long
story short, it appears that backuppc converted the host name in the
'hosts' file to lower case, and was looking for (but did not find)
'1and1-mw-common.pl'. I renamed the host configuration file and
everything is sunny once again.
I am running backuppc 2-1-2 on an Ubuntu 6.10 server - waiting for a
package to be available before upgrading.
BackupPC forces the host name to lower case.
I removed that in 3.0.0beta0, but since it broke some installations,
I kept the 2.x behavior in 3.0.0.
The original reason to force to lower case is that some tools to look
up the host name (like nmblookup) return upper case.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing Up Symbolic Links Using Rsync
Norbert writes:
I am backing up a directory structure on a Linux server running rsync
version 2.5.6cvs protocol version 26. Most of the files and
subdirectories are symbolic links to a common 'source' directory
structure. It appears that backuppc is backing up the symbolic links to
files, but the XferLOG shows no indication that any of the symbolic links
to directories are being processed. So far, I have done a full and
incremental backup. Is this something I should worry about if I need to
do a restore? I am backing up the 'source' directory separately, so I can
always re-establish the links manually.
I am running backuppc 2-1-2 on an Ubuntu 6.10 server - waiting for a
package to be available before upgrading.
What are your rsync options?
I'd be curious to see the XferLOG file with $Conf{XferLogLevel} set to 4.

[BackupPC-users] Fwd: BackupPC administrative attention needed - Email alerts
Hello, I've been using BackupPC for about 2 months now and I configured exim to send emails using a smarthost. Since then I've been getting emails from anacron, logwatch and logcheck, but never BackupPC. Last night, as my PC was being backed up I shut it down and I saw this email in my inbox this morning, so BackupPC can send emails How can I get the summary report email to be sent to the users that are responsible for the hosts, as declared in the hosts file? - Regards, Richard Bailey -- Forwarded message -- From: BackupPC .

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing Up Symbolic Links Using Rsync
What are your rsync options?
I'd be curious to see the XferLOG file with $Conf{XferLogLevel} set to
4.
Craig, the backup command is: $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l
userid $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
Clearly, I am blind (:-). The symlinks are being backed up, although not
flagged as directories. Backuppc also does not recurse into the target
directory. Here is an extract from the XferLOG for a normal directory:
attribSet(dir=f.%2fbioeducation, file=images)
create d 755 10102/6004096 images
attribSet(dir=f.%2fbioeducation, file=images)
and a symbolically linked directory:
attribSet(dir=f.%2fbioeducation, file=maintenance)
pool l 777 10102/600 77 maintenance
attribSet(dir=f.%2fbioeducation, file=maintenance)
I will do a restore of the common files and directories that are the
targets of the symlinks and then restore the symlinks themselves - that
will be the true test.
Thanks! Norbert
PS. Thanks for the fast response on the mixed-case host configuration
files. It did throw me for a loop for a bit, until I noticed that the
host-specific section of the GUI did not show any configuration file.

[BackupPC-users] Incremental Backup every two hours
Hi there I am trying to do an Incremental backup dataserver Departmental data (word,excel,access,pics,pdf files) every two hours. Size of the departmental data folder is about 80 GB. I have installed Backup pc, I have done following 1) Changed confil.pl using web interface so that backup starts every 2 hours. [ 7,9,11,13,15,17,19] 2) Changed the Backout period from 20 to 6 3) Changed number of incremental backup to 140 4) Change minmum days before next full backup to 30.97 5) change minimium no of full backup to keep. 1 what else do I need to configure to achieve Incremental backup every 2 hours ? Also if a file that has been created on my dataserer after full backup, will that file be backed up every incremental backup ? Thank you in advance for all your help.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Tar errors all of a sudden for localhost only
You need to find a way to give access to those directories (read exec) and
files (read) the backuppc user.
look for How can client access as root be avoided? in the FAQ
