I generally prefer to do configuration via manual editing of config files, but in this case, I find BackupPC's web interface so easy to use, that I prefer it. And in the case of someone who is having problems getting the config right because they are not looking in the right files, I think it is doubly helpful because it automatically puts all of the settings in the correct place. I haven't looked at the config.pl comments recently, but I have found the links from the web interface to the docs to be very helpful on more than a few occasions. -- Bowie -- Come build with us!

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup aborted (Too many smbtar errors (50001))
Pat, Running: /usr/bin/smbclient law98\\C\$ -U price -W central -E -d 3 -c tarmode\ full -Tc - You have debugging turned on (-d 3). Every debug message is considered an error - unless BackupPC recognizes the output, it assumes it is an error. So you should turn debugging off. Craig -- Come build with us!

Actually, I'm a little confused. shouldn't it be 6x6=36? 6 weeks of 6 incrementals each week. -- Come build with us!

[BackupPC-users] RsyncP problem
My problem is still that rsyncP with rsyncd as client still retransmits
unchanged files. I reduced the testcase:
1) Full Backup. All files are transmitted, This is the logoutput from the
client:
2009/10/22 21:35:44 [3820] connect from UNKNOWN (192.168.5.9)
2009/10/22 21:35:55 [3820] rsync on . from bag...@unknown (192.168.5.9)
2009/10/22 21:35:56 [3820] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub)
.musikproject/musikCube_u.ini 1913 f???
2009/10/22 21:35:57 [3820] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub)
.musikproject/musik_collected_u.db 157696 f???
2009/10/22 21:39:32 [3820] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub)
.musikproject/musik_u.db 28868608 f???
2009/10/22 21:39:32 [3820] sent 28836048 bytes received 61235 bytes total
size 29028217
As you can see, roughly 30 MB are transmitted.
2) Incremental backup:
2009/10/22 21:40:46 [3940] 192.168.5.9 is not a known address for localhost:
spoofed address?
2009/10/22 21:40:46 [3940] connect from UNKNOWN (192.168.5.9)
2009/10/22 21:40:57 [3940] rsync on . from bag...@unknown (192.168.5.9)
2009/10/22 21:40:57 [3940] sent 212 bytes received 674 bytes total size
29028217
Almost nothing is transmitted, as the client only checks the timestamps.
3) Another full backup: This looks exactly like the output to 1). All data is
sent over the wire again. Rsync summary states that about 30MB are transmitted.
4) Experiment:
For testing, I added --checksum to the {$RsyncArgs}. I rerun a Full Backup
again:
2009/10/22 21:55:09 [2172] rsync on . from bag...@unknown (192.168.5.9)
2009/10/22 21:55:10 [2172] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub)
.musikproject/musikCube_u.ini 1913 f???
2009/10/22 21:55:11 [2172] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub)
.musikproject/musik_collected_u.db 157696 f???
2009/10/22 21:55:11 [2172] sent 158068 bytes received 762 bytes total size
29028217
Interestingly, this time, only the two small files get retransmitted, the big
one is left out.
I then restored my configuration to include the complete client pc, keeping the
--checksum parameter. Sadly, now all I get is fileListReceived errors on the
server, so this didn't help either.
And for the records, I tried both rsync 2.6.8 and 3.0.4 on the client.
Craig, is this expected behaviour? Why does the full backup retransmit
everything everytime?
Thanks
Harald
