Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC Newbie
Robert Furman wrote: Hey Everyone, I recently found BackupPC and like what I see. A few questions though.. Most of these are related to backing up on a Windows ServerWorktation. Which of these can BackupPC satisfy? Support for OpenFiles/VSS Yes. There are pre execute scripts as well as a rsync patch which support VSS. I do successfull back up Windows XP as well as Windows Vista with VSS. FTP and/or SSH and/or WebDav Backuppc supports SSH out of the box. Encryption Only transport encryption (SSH). For content encryption you can use rsyncrypto which must encrypt the data before rsync will transport them. The disadvantage is you have the data twice on the client. Encrypted as well as in cleartext. Compression Yes. I believe gzip based. Local Backups What you mean with that? Ghosting/Image Level Backups Images (Can be separate Application - Remote Triggered) No Image Backup. As for encryption/rsyncrypto you can create an Image local and backup this with backuppc. Brick Level Updates What you mean with that? E-Mail Notification of Success/Failure Yes, but only in case of failures (I blieve) Exchange Support No, if you mean something other than VSS Resource Efficient Yes, yes and yes. I have backed up 3TB which use 400GB on my drives. Support for Server 2000 - 2008R2 and Desktop XP - Windows 7 Yes, if you provide the fileshares from windows clients to your backuppc server. I would advise to use rsync and then it depends if cygwin (or cwRsync as an alternative) would run on this. Thanks, Robert In principal backuppc call user defined routines before and after backups. You have to write this routines to do things what you want. e.g. login into the client and create a volume shadow copy, or encrypt data or make a image copy from a volume. You can do that with windows tools or with linux/cygwin tools. Backuppc do nothing of this Out of the Box. Backuppc use tools like rsync or samba to receive data from the client. Compress them, find identical files and save space on the servers harddisk.

[BackupPC-users] Why does $share work but not ${share} in DumpPreShareCmd
Specifically, the following works
$Conf{DumpPreShareCmd}= 'mycommand $share $share/myfile';
And indeed $share is substituted properly.
but the following does not...
$Conf{DumpPreShareCmd}= 'mycommand $share ${share}/myfile';
And instead it passes ${share} for the final argument.
I would have thought that the braces would be treated properly whether
in a perl or bash script.
What am I missing?

I would say its a file permissions error on the server in which your restoring to. On Sun, Nov 1, 2009 at 9:06 PM, Micha Silver mi...@arava.co.il wrote: I am unable to restore to linux servers.

The variable substitution is done via regular expressions, not
by perl eval(). The perl brace syntax isn't supported, although
you could add it pretty easily.

Thanks - that is good to know and maybe should be documented. Given
that much of the rest of the conf file takes arbitrary perl code, it
wasn't obvious to me that we were leaving the perl paradigm here.
It may be even better to add if it is pretty easy, since at least when
I see the $variable, I'm usually thinking either perl or bash
variables - both of which recognize the brace construction. So that
would eliminate such hopefully understandable confusion.
