[BackupPC-users] rsyncd info
Hi I was just wondering what rsync does when running rsyncd on the client if a full backup fails. Does it try and continue from where it left off on the next run ?

RStmp is a temporary file used to store the uncompressed pool file, which is needed for the rsync algorithm. It's only used for larger files - smaller files are uncompressed in memory. RStmp is independent of --whole-file. What about when there is no prior file? I have explictly deleted the original file from the prior backup and I still get an RStmp file. Is it just filled with zeros or something? I agree with Tony that the new file is created very slowly.

[BackupPC-users] backuppc broken for backing up windows with samba
I have not found a solution to this problem, and I have found other people
that have the same issue. This problem started in January when I moved from
Fedora 8 to Fedora 9.
The issue is that smbclient gets and incorrect path from backuppc when
trying to backup windows clients in the Documents and Settings directory
(and maybe others). My config file has this in it: (*note that I changed
the profile names when posting this message for security.)
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'e$' = [
'/pictures'
],
'c$' = [
'/Documents and Settings/username/Application
Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles',
'/Documents and Settings/username/My Documents',
'/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application
Data/Microsoft/Outlook',
'/Documents and Settings/username/Desktop',
'/Documents and Settings/username2/My Documents'
]
};
The errors I get when trying to backup are:
NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND listing \Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Firefox\*
NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND listing \Documents and
Settings\username\username\*
NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND listing \Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft\*
NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND listing \Documents and
Settings\username\username\*
NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND listing \Documents and
Settings\username2\username2\*
As you can see, backuppc is passing in incorrect path to smbclient, as the
2nd to last directory is being repeated twice.
How can I fix this? There are other people on this mailing list with the
same problem. See the following for similar examples:

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC and Windows/ Cygwin clients via ssh/ rsync
backuppc-users:
I am a BackupPC newbie who has installed BackupPC on a dedicated Debian
4 machine and is successfully backing up Linux and FreeBSD machines via
ssh/ rsync. Good stuff! :-)
However, when I attempt to backup Windows XP Professional SP3/ Cygwin
machines via ssh/rsync, BackupPC will process anywhere from dozens to
hundreds of files and then hang, usually on a large file (console
session follows).
RTFM and STFW, I found various items, but no resolution.
I tried invoking rsync from the server console to pull in files from a
Windows/ Cygwin machine, but the process also hanged.
I think the problem lies with Cygwin, but don't know how to troubleshoot
it.
Has anybody been able to get BackupPC working with Windows/ Cygwin
clients via ssh/ rsync?
TIA,
David

David Concerning Backuppc and Windows systems, the issues pertained to the interaction of Cygwin rsync 3.0.0 and AFAIK Backuppc's perl implementation of rsync. If issues remain with a cygwin rsync = 3.0.0 then upgrading the rsync of the Backuppc server is not the solution as Backuppc provides its own rsync. There was a thread here a while back that noted that cygwin rsync v 3.0.3 appeared to solve the problems that plagued users before with rsync over ssh. My testing confirms that this is so, BUT that issues remain. As others here have noted, large files mysteriously can still cause hiccups and my experience shows that this can happen with both cygwin rsync over ssh and with rsyncd over ssh tunnel. I now want to transfer these troublesome directories to a *nix box to see if I can replicate the problems in a native environment.

Cody The traditional problem with Backuppc and cygwin of a rsync over ssh freeze on any sizeable back up has disappeared with Cygwin and rsync 3.0.3 and greater, as one can get a completed run. I had machines that always failed and that now complete. There are however seemingly big file issues (eg. *.pst files of ca. 2 gigs or so (VSS copied to temp directory so file locking is not the issue!)) that strike me not on the initial full which completes, but on subsequent incremental runs when the exchange of differential info hangs. So I guess it is a case of YMMV.

Debian 5 has ssh 5.1p1-5 and rsync 3.0.3-2: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/openssh-client http://packages.debian.org/lenny/rsync If I rebuild the box using Debian 5, should BackupPC work for Windows/ Cygwin via ssh/ rsync? No the problem is the perl library perl-File-RsyncP does not work with protocol 30 (the rsync 3.0 protocol) so it reverts to the older protocol which has issues with various Windows files. -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ 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/
