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

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. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Come build with us!

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

[BackupPC-users] network behaviour question
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.

With tar/smb the whole file would be transferred, then matching content would be discarded. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Come build with us!

[BackupPC-users] Exclusions List
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 -- Come build with us!

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclusions List
Sad but true--this issue comes up more than any other on this list. I don't know if anyone gets excludes to work.

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.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclusions List
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
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. -- Come build with us!
