[BackupPC-users] Making a different per host setting without a pc/hostname.pc file
Hi all:
I run multiple backupc servers over wan's and I am trying to implement
the following logic:
If the host being backed up by the backuppc server is at the same
site as the backuppc server, do not add --bwlimit to $Conf{RsyncArgs}.
If the host being backed up by the backuppc server is at a different
site, add --bwlimit=64 to $Conf{RsyncArgs}.
Ideally this should be placed into the config.pl so it works for all
hosts, but I don't see any way to get the current hostname when the
configuration is loaded.
While I can create 100+ pc/hostname.pl files, this gets very messy
very quickly since I have to have at least two copies of each
pc/hostname.pl file for the two (or more) backup servers that are
backing up the data on the host. I have done this before with other
backup systems, and trying to audit and verify the configuration is a
total mess.
I would like to allow this to be overidden by pc/hostname.pl files as
there will be a dozen or so that need to have special bwlimit settings
because of the amount of data that they transfer, but this is maybe 20
files total, not the 200+ I am looking at having to manage.
So does anybody have any ideas? Is there a $Conf{CurrentHostName}
value I am not seeing? Other ideas on how to do this programatically?
Thanks.

If someone is going to implement this logic, I'd like to see it
generalized slightly differently. I'd allow adding group or tag names
to each host, then have some additional settings that apply to the
groups, like the permitted concurrent backups of members of the same
group to control bandwidth out each network branch. Perhaps there could
be group-specific overrides of the config variables as well as
host-specific to easily control things like enabling ssh compression or
setting bwlimit.

Re: [BackupPC-users] HowTo backup __TOPDIR__?
while reading linux journal look at what i found... maybe it will do what you want You can use the dd and nc commands for exact disk mirroring from one server to another. The following commands send data from Server1 to Server2: Server2# nc -l 12345 | dd of=/dev/sdb Server1# dd if=/dev/sda | nc server2 12345 Make sure that you issue Server2's command first so that it's listening on port 12345 when Server1 starts sending its data. Unless you're sure that the disk is not being modified, it's better to boot Server1 from a RescueCD or LiveCD to do the copy. source: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/tech-tip-remote-mirroring-using-nc-and-dd http://www.linux-geex.com __ On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 9:19 PM, Matthias Meyer matthias.me...@gmx.liwrote: Thomas Birnthaler wrote: What is the best way to syncronize __TOPDIR__ to another location?

[BackupPC-users] What is the meaning of a file called RStmp
If I watch a backup, making by rsync from a vista client, I often see a file __TOP_DIR__/pc/host/new/share/RStmp What is the meaning of this file? br Matthias -- Don't Panic -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

So it seems possible to make the initial remote backup by dd and after this a daily rsync? Because on a daily basis are (hopefully) not tons of new hardlinks which have to be created on the remote side. Rsync still has to traverse all of the pool/pc trees in one pass to match up the links by inode number so there is some limit relative to the RAM on the machine to what it can reasonably handle. But with the new protocol 3, that limit might be fairly large. In my opinion dd or cp -a isn't possible too because they would copy all the data. That would consume to much time if I syncronize the locations on a daily basis. Any other tool has the same time consumption if it keeps hardlinks (cp e.g. does that with option -l).

I would believe that creating of the tar archive and copying it to the other location will consume nearly the same time, space and bandwidth as dd or cp. Isn't it? The BackupPC_tarPCCopy utility makes a tar image containing only the link information, assuming that you have already copied the pool, but yes it does take a very long time to complete a restore. However, as a disaster backup it might be useful. The down side is that you'd need to both rsync the pool and complete the BackupPC_tarPCCopy run with no changes to the master server. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

It is a linux program that corresponds to 'psexec' on windows to run programs remotely without an explicit agent. I've been wondering if it could be used to run rsync on windows without an ssh layer - or at least to run pre/post commands. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
