Re: [BackupPC-users] Almost working
Well, I'll work on remote access later. Now that I have BackupPC working on the system in the original distribution file setup, I am ready to change the storage location to a large hard disk just for archiving. I stopped BackupPC and removed the client definition. I then removed the /var/lib/BackupPC directory and all sub trees. Next, I created a LVM for the 500 GB disk and mounted it as /var/lib/BackupPC and created the directories: cpoolpoolpc trash .ssh (containing my ssh keys) When I thought I had everything back like it needed to be, I rebooted and verified service BackupPC started with no errors. Next I logged into BackupPC. I am getting a SELinux AVC error "SELinux is preventing nm-system-setti (NetworkManager_t) "read" to ./PolicyKit (hald_var_lib_t). It also said "You could try to restore the default system file context for ./PolicyKit, restorecon -v './PolicyKit' I ran this as root and got the following response: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# restorecon -v './PolicyKit' restorecon: stat error on ./PolicyKit: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# restorecon -v './PolicyKit(hald_var_lib_t)' restorecon: stat error on ./PolicyKit(hald_var_lib_t): No such file or directory Below is my resulting disk structure when adding the 500 GB hd (/dev/sdc).

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup_dump - Wrong User
I've seen other users here have had this problem as well (judging from the archives) but there has never been a solution posted. I believe that I have found the answer to this problem, somewhat accidentally: In the process of setting up a script that would periodically check the BackupPC log for the 'BackupPC::Lib->new failed' error, I needed to do several restarts of the server. Apache wasn't starting on its own giving 'nodename nor servname provided, or not known: mod_unique_id' in the error log. Simply commenting out this module solved the apache startup problem ... and also, apparently, the 'BackupPC::Lib->new failed' error as well. The script I wrote has not once fired a restart procedure since I commented out the module. Previous behavior was that the error would crop up at least twice a day and persist until I restarted BackupPC. Now, I'm not quite certain what mod_unique_id does but I haven't been using it in any other apache installation so I haven't been too worried to do the research. If anyone would kindly explain any portion of this problem, I'd be much appreciative. I plan on writing a howto for BackupPC for Debian and Mac OS X and this piece of info would be pretty handy.

While it had worked previously on this platform, I'm getting some very odd errors that driving me insane: I'm able to run backups for a period of time but some point in time during the day I'll begin to get repeated iterations of the following: /opt/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump: Wrong user: my userid is 501, instead of (tlctoor) Please su tlctoor first BackupPC::Lib->new failed After I get this, newly initiated processes will fail but previously active processes seem to continue. I then need to restart the BackupPC service to get backups back on track. What am I missing, where should I look?

[BackupPC-users] backuppc fails after updating opensuse to 11.0
I think this could help:

I had the same problem and I solved it by removing -N from the
$Conf{SmbClientFullCmd} string.

[BackupPC-users] Incremental Backup Never Finishes
I am running BackupPC 3.0.0 on Ubuntu Hardy - installed from the apt repository. I have been using it for several months without issue - its backing up all the machines in my office (6 or 7 of them) as well as 1 server that was on a different subnet though located in the same room as the backuppc machine. 2 days ago I switched this server to be on the same subnet as the rest of the office so that the backups could run more quickly (the traffic would not have to go all the way out to the modem and back, just hit the switch between machines - gigabit instead of 100/T). The old IP address of the server was 207.70.x.x, the new one is 192.168.x.x. I went into /var/lib/backuppc/pc and simply renamed the directory from 207.70.x.x to 192.168.x.x. I also changed the host details in the backuppc setup screens to reflect the new IP change. After doing so (and updating some ssh keys) all the backups appeared correctly under the listing for 192.168.x.x from when it was the 207.70.x.x. I then ran a full backup, which took about an hour or so (expected) and completed successfuly. I then attempted to run an incremental backup. This is where problems started: The incremental never finished. I let it run overnight (about 17 hours) and it was steadily transferring data at a very high rate of speed (verified with iftop and other network monitoring software), but the backup never finished. The drive on the server being backed up only has about 70GB of data to backup, yet many hundreds of GB of data were transferred to the backup server. So, what gives? Is there something more I need to change when switching the IP of a backed up machine? (oh, and I'm using rsync for the backups everywhere - mixture of linux and os x hosts being backed up, and all the other hosts backup (both full and incremental) correctly).

There are several areas where the file name paths can be limited in length (none of them in BackupPC). I'll add this to the todo list.
