Hi Mark,

Yes, add it to Rsync restore as well.

 Hi Guys
 
 
 
 I use Rsync in my backup method and have added the following setting to the
 rsync arguments as per the backuppc documentation.
 
 
 
 --checksum-seed=32761
 
 
 
 What I wanted to know is if I am also meant to use it in the Rsync Restore
 arguments aswell?
 
 
 
 Thanks
 
 
 
 Mark

[BackupPC-users] How to remove an archive backup from the Backup List (and directory)?

2009-10-12 Thread Daniele Davolio
I'm testing the Archive Functions to backup the pool via command line 
interface.
I did several test and now I'd like to remove them. But how? Obviously I 
can remove the tar.gz files :) but they'll be still present on the records.
The Script here described 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=How_to_delete_backups,
 
does not recognise the archive host I set up:
./Delete_Backup_Backuppc.sh -c archivedisk -l 
/home/manage/Delete_Backup_Backuppc.sh: line 93: 
/backuppc/pc/archivedisk/backups: No such file or directory

So, does anyone know how to remove them by hands?

Thx All!
Davo

The archives produced by the archivehost setup land wherever you 
specified they should go and are not part of the backuppc pooling setup. 
That's the point - you can store them elsewhere and restore from them 
without a running backuppc.  Just remove them if you don't want them.

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd resume of partial backup retransmits many files

2009-10-12 Thread Harald Amtmann
Hello,

I am trying to backup a machine over a low bandwidth connection. Server is 
debian linux running BackupPC 3.1.0, client is Windows XP SP2 with rsync 3.0.4 
(for more details see below). I am currently trying to run the initial full 
backup but it got interrupted twice already due to various reasons. When I 
retrigger the full backup, a lot of large files are retransmitted even though 
they have already been uploaded to the server and weren't even touched in the 
meantime. 

In the log excerpt below you can see the processing of a file that definitely 
has been uploaded already. I am not sure if rsync transmits the file completely 
again or if the blocksize is so very small that the blockhashes are almost as 
much data as the original file. Whatever it is, resuming takes wy too long.

Is it a problem to use rsyncd and pool compression in this scenario? Please 
help.

Regards,
Harald

[BackupPC-users] network behaviour question

2009-10-12 Thread Tyler J. Wagner
Everyone,

I'm trying to understand exactly what happens in a Full backup.  Given the 
following:

1. I have enabled checksum caching.

2. A client PC has previous Full backups.

3. A Full backup for this client runs.

In this situation, are files that already exist in the pool copied over the 
network to the BackupPC server?  For these files, does the client only 
calculate checksums and then stop, or does it copy them back to the server and 
the server throws them away?

I'm pretty sure it is the former, but I'd appreciate confirmation.

Regards,
Tyler

With rsync/rsyncd xfers, only the checksum calculation and differences 
are transferred.  With tar/smb the whole file would be transferred, then 
matching content would be discarded.

[BackupPC-users] Exclusions List

2009-10-12 Thread Heath Yob
I'm having problems getting the exclusions to work.

Server is a debian 5 box running version 3.1.  I'm backing up an OSX  
client via ssh rsync.

The backup part is working.  The problem is that the exclusions aren't  
working.  For example i'm trying to exclude mp3s.  So I've added both  
*.mp3 and .mp3 to the exclusion list and it's still backing up the  
mp3s.  I'm wondering if I'm missing something.  The examples of the  
exclusions only show directories and not files even though it states  
it can exclude files.

List of directories or files to exclude from the backup.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Heath

Here's an example of one that I use to exclude files beginning with 'core.' or 
ending with '.lock':

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/' = [
'core.*',
'*.lock'
  ]
};

Note that the first part must match a defined share name, like / or c.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclusions List

2009-10-12 Thread Heath Yob
Ok so I've updated stuff and things sorta work but not exactly how I  
want.

The rsync exclude works but the exclusion list still doesn't work.

Exclusion list now looks like:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '*' = [
 '*/*.mp3'
   ]
};

 This is what it is.  I added some other to see if it catches.

 Hmm.  I tried */*.mp3 and /*.mp3.  It's still picking up the  
 test mp3
 files.  I make a new file ever incremental to see if it picks it  
 up.

 I'm not seeing the filters when I run the incremental: /usr/bin/ 
 ssh
 -q
 -x -l root 171.67.220.30 /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender -- 
 numeric-
 ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times -- 
 block-
 size=2048 --recursive . /Users/heathy/Music/


 Should I see my filters in the command that gets run?

 Thanks,

 heath

 The backup part is working. The problem is that the exclusions
 aren't
 working. For example i'm trying to exclude mp3s. So I've added  
 both
 *.mp3 and .mp3 to the exclusion list and it's still backing up  
 the
 mp3s. I'm wondering if I'm missing something. The examples of the
 exclusions only show directories and not files even though it  
 states
 it can exclude files.

 I think you have to add the path. Something like */*.mp3

Sad but true--this issue comes up more than any other on this list. I don't
know if anyone gets excludes to work.

Thanks everyone for your help.  I think I got it to work.

Once I matched the share with my exclusion list it seemed to take.

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC and power saving

2009-10-12 Thread Robert Kosinski
Hello BackupPC-users,

I have a scenario in my head and am soliciting feedback as to its
feasibility. Forgive me if this has been discussed before; I searched
the mailing list and wider Internet but couldn't come up with much
information. What I'd like to do is:

1. Set a schedule on the Windows clients to send Wake-on-LAN packets
once per day or immediately upon booting if it's been longer than the
desired interval. Why not the other way around? Well, the backup
server will be asleep, and I am not aware of a method to schedule a
self wake. Reading over documentation, it looks like wolcmd used in
conjunction with Windows' scheduler is up to the task, except I don't
know at this time how to specify to break schedule and trigger
immediately if it's been too long.

2. BackupPC does its thing and pulls data from the client(s).

3. When all jobs are finished, the machine puts itself to sleep,
shutting off cpus, hard drives, fans, etc.

4. Machine is off, waiting for the next magic packet before returning to #1.

I'm open to other power saving suggestions if this scenario sounds
nutty. Basically I'm looking to avoid 24/7 electricity costs when the
machine needs to run 30-90 minutes daily. I am not open to anything
that requires daily human intervention, even if it's just to press the
power button twice per day. Thanks for any assistance rendered.
