>From backuppc server, I could see the windows server using "smbtree -b

But when I try to backup using smb, still it was aborted due to "no file dump".
I decided to mount windows server share first to backuppc server, and
backup using localhost. So far it could backup successfully.
Anybody has comment on the drawback of this method?

Craig,
thanks for your response! I will try this solution.
But: I thought of this potential filter rule problem, too. So I tried
with a rsync client:
rsync -anv --include='/[a-z]*' --exclude='*_DELETED/'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/export/user1 /tmp
receiving file list ... done
user1/a/a
user1/b/b
And the other order:
rsync -anv --exclude='*_DELETED/' --include='/[a-z]*'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/export/user1 /tmp
receiving file list ... done
user1/a/a
user1/b/b
As you can see the order of include/exclude filter options doesn't seem
to matter ...

Btw: Where does this "exclude: /*" come from? I didn't define it as an

[BackupPC-users] NAS Based Backuppc
Hi, I am looking at incorporating Backuppc into my home enviroment. I have 3 Windows PC and a File / Home Mail Server (Linksys Nslu2) which I would like to backup. I am wondering if there is a Network Access Server like the Western Digital MyBook World or Terastation etc. which can be modified (ie Hacked if required) to run BackupPC including the web interface so that it is all on the one device. I realise that using these basic devices make these kind of processes very slow but really like the feature set of BackupPC and also having the backup process automated in a way that fits in with laptops etc. while not taking away processing time etc on the individual workstations plus the issue of compatability accross the linux and windows platforms. I have run BackupPC on my Linksys Nslu and done a couple of tests and it appears to work well but as one of the drives I want to back up is the drive connected to this device I can not run it on this device plus it is a little bloated as it is (file, mail, web, vpn server). Speed is as stated not really much of a concern it is more the compatibility and support for the device / and preferably BackupPC on that device that I am after. Any advice on any devices which are capable of doing this would be appreciated. I only need something with a drive approx 150GB but if it is a bigger capacity then thats fine too.

I believe there are some versions of smbclient with bugs in command line parsing that have trouble with backuppc. It's been mentioned on the list but I've forgotten the details. Also, smbclient reads your default smb.conf file even though most of its settings relate to the server so it is possible to have problems that relate to the password server or similar global settings there. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

[BackupPC-users] Pause backup jobs
Wondering if anyone one has found away to pause or suspend a backup job instead of stopping I am backing up several servers with large luns 750 gb to 2tb in size. With millions of tiny files. So everytime a new rsync job kicks off it has to rebuild the file list and the only time the backup job completes is on the weekends, when the jobs can run 24/7 can only run about 8 hours a day on the weekdays. Is there a way to pause the rsync on client and then resume it later, so that at least it will get a base full over a couple of nights and then incrementals should work normally after that.

I don't think this is possible, but you might want to look at the file distribution on the target. If you could split this into some number of directories that are backed up separately and perhaps a catch-all run that excludes the ones backed up individually it might go a lot faster. Also, it might help a lot to add RAM to the server or run fewer concurrent jobs if it is swapping due to the size of the directory. If you have a current version of backuppc, it should save partial full runs and accumulate parts until it is completed. However, even incrementals will have to transfer the entire directory structure over before starting so it may continue to be a problem. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Pause backup jobs
I have set up a backup job that way, and split it up into 15 individual jobs, it is still a lot of files though. I am going to try out sending a SIGSTOP and a SIGCONT to the rsync job on the client and see if it works. If it does, I don't think that would be very hard to incorporate into BackupPC interface.

For example, to include just /home/user, you need: --include='/home' --include='/home/user' --exclude='/*' --exclude='/home/*' I agree this translation can become problematic when you want to include several things with wildcards.

You could just setup an aggressive wake up schedule, and adjust the black out schedule for those clients accordingly, of course it would fail every time the wake up schedule tried to backup that client. You can set it to wake up every 15 minutes if you want by doing 13.25, 13.50, 13.75 etc...

I thought about the same procedure and as an enhancement backup Laptops when they are connected via (Open-)VPN. While I had not enough time to explore this in detail a solution for your problem might be: 1) Check if your client-laptop has a certain IP 2) connects to the BackupPC-server vis SSH and request a backup from the command line (I think there is an option to make BackupPC starting a backup from the command line) Assuming that your laptops are running Windows, you can use this batch file to run command based on the IP the client-PC has.

That is what thought. But I think the problem is backuppc need to pass windows user name and password first before it could launch rsync, which is I do not know how to do it.

Re: [BackupPC-users] problem with interface web
What username and password you ausing? It is the default created by backuppc or you create your own? Make sure you record correctly the username and password of administrator created when you install backuppc. If you did not record it, try to run in terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure backuppc and see carefully what is the username and password of the administrator.

The blackout schedule only takes effect after PCs have been determined
to be available outside of it for several days. For intermittently
connected laptops that may be never. If they are DHCP-addressed, you
need to include the network ranges to search in $Conf{DHCPAddressRanges}.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Windows 2000 server and windows 2003 server
I have found that rsyncd usually needs to be run with administrator rights. Trying to get it to run as a regular user or a system account has always failed for me. With your connection refused message, I suspect that rsyncd is not running at all. try either using nmap or telnetting to the windows box at port 873. If those fail or don't show activity at port 873, rsyncd isn't running on the windows box, so there is nothing for the backuppc machine to connect to. Most likely, you'll have much better backups with rsyncd instead of samba, so I'd encourage you to get that working.

It is true. I have problem with Samba Character setting now, trying to figure out. When I try to run rsyncd using administrator account (not localsystem), it could not be started. When I use LocalSystem, it actually did not but without any notice. Is there any instruction to troubleshoot rsyncd? Regards, David - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
