[BackupPC-users] Additional host IP resolution techniques are needed
Dear backuppc users! In some configurations nmblookup does not reliably resolve Windows host IP address (due to firewall or security setting) and ping does not work either, because of domain search problem http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2228839/ping-does-not-resolve-the-host-always-appends-a-domain/. I would suggest to implement additionally: * Try to ping host first, then ping host. and get the results from one that succeeded * Implement one more check, nslookup host Does it make sense? Is it difficult to add/implement? Forgive me, if this topic was already raised in this maillist, I was not able to find it via SF search interface. Thanks in advance! -- With best regards, Dmitry -- SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude not working as expected
Mark Wass wrote: Hi Bowie Thanks for clearing that up. So does that mean I should also amend these other excludes by putting a forward slash in front? 'etc/fstab', == '/etc/fstab', 'var/cache/apt/archives/*', == '/var/cache/apt/archives/*', Yes, anything that should only match at the beginning of the path should start with a slash. This works in much the same way it does on the command line: # cd proc This will take you into any directory called 'proc' that is available in whatever the current directory happens to be. # cd /proc This explicitly takes you to the '/proc' directory no matter where you start from. -- Bowie -- SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
