I downloaded new backuppc from sourceforge and executed ./configure and answer all the questions for the configuration again, but before you have to save all the pc.pl that you have. I think that with apt in ubuntu you only have to save your pc.pl and make a apt-get update backuppc Omar Llorens Crespo Domínguez JPL TSOLUCIO, S.L.

[BackupPC-users] merge host from one pool into another pool
Hello, historically, I run backuppc on two servers. One runs version 2.1.2 on Scientific Linux 4.7, the other 3.x (can't check right now) on Fedora Core 7. Both backup different sets of hosts. Some hosts are being backed up by both of them (primarily laptops and one of the servers). Now, I would like to add the FC7 server (called benz) to the pool of the SL4 server too, including the history of backups. How would I achieve this? My hope is that I just could copy the pc/benz directory to the pc directory of the other server, and then use some of the BackupPC_xxx scripts. However, what I understood from the documentation is that already BackupPC_dump checks if a file exists in the pool already. If the file exists already, it creates a hard link, if not, it writes the file to pc/hostname/NewFileList. In a second step, BackupPC_link runs, rechecks if the files in NewFileList are in the pool already (or meanwhile), and either just create only a hard link, or also add the file in question to the pool. Hence, my idea is to copy each backup, one-by-one, into the NewFileList directory, and let BackupPC_link do the job. There are about 50 backups with only 8GB in total, for the particular host. So, my questions are: 1) is there a better way? 2) would it work as described above? 2) a) the file names in NewFileList are already mangled, or original? 2) b) what shall I do with the attributes? 2) c) what will happen with the backups file, and all the transfer logs?

Re: [BackupPC-users] upgrading backuppc 3.0 to 3.1
if i "apt-get upgrade backuppc" on ubuntu 8.04 it will try to install backuppc 3.1. this is good and what i want. but it will also try to upgrade samba, samba-common, smbclient, and smbfs. i don't want to upgrade the samba packages because it as i posted before, my backups were crashing with backuppc 3.1 and samba 3.2.3 (http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg12192.html). how can i prevent apt-get from upgrade the samba packages???

You can do this in Gnome by right-clicking on the deb file and choosing "open in archive manager" (or something like that). Then do the same for control.tar.gz. Then navigate the directory tree to find a file called "control". Open that and edit the "Depends" line. The syntax is fairly obvious. You need to make sure you don't change "Depends" in such a way that the application won't work. If backuppc 3.1 will really work with the older versions of samba (or if you don't use samba with backuppc), then there should be no problem changing the depends line. Hmm, I'm not sure, but you might get an error about the signature not being valid when you install your modified deb. -Rob The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

[BackupPC-users] Beta release of BackupPC with ftp support
We are happy to announce the beta release of BackupPC Community Edition version 3.1.0+ftp. This release contains backup and recovery using ftp protocol and other changes to improve testability and maintainability on top of 3.1.0 release. Paul C. Mantz has been working on these changes for last fewmonths. We provide rpm packages for RedHat Enterprise 4 and 5, Suse Linux Enterprise 9 and 10. We will be adding BackupPC packages for other platforms in the near future. After adequate testing is done, these changes will be merged into the next BackupPC release. Please provide feedback on the beta release. We would be happy to hear from you about feature suggestions as well as any questions. http://www.backuppc.com/ is a good place to start. thanks, Paddy - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
[BackupPC-users] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
It appears that that have changed the way smbclient works with version 3.2.3,
and it is causing this problem. A problem identical to yours was reported as
being a bug in Ubuntred 8.10 (Intrepid):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backuppc/+bug/283652. However, the
actual source of the problem is smbclient, which is called by backuppc.
Therefore, I reported a second bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297025 that
will hopefully fix the problem.
The solution to your backup problem is to edit /etc/backuppc/config.pl on
server #2, which is using backuppc version 3.1.0 and smbclient 3.2.3. Do not
make this modification to server #1, as it will break it.
There are three strings that you need to modify in config.pl:
$Conf{SmbClientFullCmd}
$Conf{SmbClientIncrCmd}
$Conf{SmbClientRestoreCmd}
which control Samba backups and restore. In all three strings remove the "-N"
flag.
My understanding that the flag is no longer needed, because the login prompt is
automatically suppressed by smbclient when backuppc passes the password through
the PASSWD environment variable. But for some unfathomable reason, when the
"-N" flag is used, the password does not get passed to Windows' LAN Manager.
Good luck.
