Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC_Trashclean
Yeah, I'm suspecting an endless loop of some sort. problem is, as soon as I kill it it restarts. I've even tried a: kill $pid;ktrace Backuppc_Trashclean and couldn't catch it.

[BackupPC-users] Incrementals contain full directory structure?
Hi, I am new to backuppc so please apologize if this has been asked before. I am testing backuppc for a few weeks now. Works very robust and fast. But I wonder about the number of files and directories backuppc creates in an incremental dump. I am backing up server2 with a filesystem containing about 3 million files spread over about 300,000 directories. backuppc's summary for server2 tells me Level 0: 3084565 files (470 GB), 1159994 files (60GB), 2150650 files (410GB) Level 1: 11024 files (2.8 GB), 8482 files (101 MB), 60139 files (2.7 GB) Counting the number of files on the backup-device leads to /path/to/backup/pc/server2/0: 3634406 files (including directories) /path/to/backup/pc/server2/1: 429770 files (including directories) Investigating the differences regarding the level 1 dump, I found out that the whole directory structure of the filesystem is created for the incremental dumps, independent if the dir contain files to backup or not. I think this may lead to problems regarding the number of files on the backup-device. My whole test setup running for 2 month lead to 140 million files/hardlinks/directories. Filesystem checks or removing of large parts of the backup took substantial amounts of time. Option IncrFill is not set neither global nor for the client. Is this layout really necessary? Can I avoid creating the whole dir structure? -- Regards Christoph Christoph Litauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Uni Koblenz, Computing Center, http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~litauer Postfach 201602, 56016 Koblenz Fon: +49 261 287-1311, Fax: -100 1311 PGP-Fingerprint: F39C E314 2650 650D 8092 9514 3A56 FBD8 79E3 27B2 - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

I would like to use the same backuppc install and backup other servers on the second array : dev/sdb Is it possible and if yes, how shall one proceed ? Hi, No it is not possible. The FAQ at http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#what_type_of_storage_space_do_i_need says: BackupPC uses hardlinks to pool files common to different backups. Therefore BackupPC's data store (__TOPDIR__) must point to a single file system that supports hardlinks. You cannot split this file system with multiple mount points or using symbolic links to point a sub-directory to a different file system (it is ok to use a single symbolic link at the top-level directory (__TOPDIR__) to point the entire data store somewhere else). You can of course use any kind of RAID system or logical volume manager that combines the capacity of multiple disks into a single, larger, file system. Such approaches have the advantage that the file system can be expanded without having to copy it. Best regards, /Martin - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Another approach is to always run on an internal drive, but periodically image-copy to a matching external disk that you rotate offsite.

[BackupPC-users] Transfer just rsync differences?
I'm new to Backuppc, having just came across it via debian-administration.org last week.

However it seems to copy over all files, then only store the changed ones. There is one machine we want to backup which has to be done via the net, so copying all files nightly takes a large chunk of our bandwidth.

the tree for the next comparison.
I believe you can make each incremental act like a full by setting
$Conf{IncrFill} to 1 so that incrementals don't have to transfer all
the data since the last full backup and only transfer the changes from
the last backup. This way you can get the best of both worlds (reduced
IO when performing an incremental backup, periodic full backups to
really ensure that everything is there).

[BackupPC-users] Backup SMB mount via SSH+Rsync
Hello All, I am working on building a small distro for backing up Window's clients over WAN. My goal is to be able to hand a customer a small piece of hardware ( i.e. http://www.soekris.com/products.htm), have them plug it in their network, open port 22 to the device be able to do some simple configuring via web interface to select which hosts and SMB shares to backup. The selected shares will be mounted on the device via smbmount which should allow BackupPC to SSH in to the device and effectively backup internal Win32 hosts. Before I commit anymore time into this I would like to see if anyone else is backuping up hosts in a similiar fashion (SMB mounts). I do not know the internals of Rsync on how it checks to see if a file has changed and I'm concerned that an SMB mount point won't allow rsync to do it's magic (incrimentals) and therefor won't allow BackupPC to do _it's_ magic (pooling, hardlinks).
