Hello together,

I am not the perl- and tar-crack, so a popped up error results in this question:
What does this log entry mean? (see end of mail)

Hopefully someone got an answer...

Thanks in advance and best regards

[BackupPC-users] experiences with very large pools?

2010-02-15 Thread Ralf Gross
Hi,

I'm faced with the growing storage demands in my department. In the
near future we will need several hundred TB. Mostly large files. ATM
we already have 80 TB of data with gets backed up to tape.

Providing the primary storage is not the big problem. My biggest
concern is the backup of the data. One solution would be using a
NetApp solution with snapshots. On the other hand is this a very
expensive solution, the data will be written once, but then only read
again. Short: it should be a cheap solution, but the data should be
backed up. And it would be nice if we could abandon tape backups...

My idea is to use some big RAID 6 arrays for the primary data, create
LUNs in slices of max. 10 TB with XFS filesystems.

Backuppc would be ideal for backup, because of the pool feature (we
already use backuppc for a smaller amount of data).

Has anyone experiences with backuppc and a pool size of 50 TB? I'm
not sure how well this will work. I see that backuppc needs 45h to
backup 3,2 TB of data right now, mostly small files.

I don't like very large filesystems, but I don't see how this will
scale with either multiple backuppc server and smaller filesystems
(well, more than one server will be needed anyway, but I don't want to
run 20 or more server...) or (if possible) with multiple backuppc
instances on the same server, each with a own pool filesystem.

So, anyone using backuppc in such an environment?

Ralf

Re: [BackupPC-users] Restoring files without backuppc

I'm a little confused by the usage of BackupPC_zipCreate

The directory I need a zip of is:

/backup/data/pc/fshac1/530/f%2fhome/fhefinw

The command I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to run (as user backuppc) is:

/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zipCreate -h localhost -n 530 -s fshac1 
fhefinw  /backup/hefin.zip

The error is:

bad backup number 530 for host localhost

I guess I missed something out here!

TIA

Have you tried BackuPC_tarCreate or BackupPC_zipCreate?  You should be 
able to execute them via ssh and collect the output elsewhere - or pipe 
to an appropriate extract command.

[BackupPC-users] Mac Client Setup?

2010-02-15 Thread John Hudak
From the current Backup PC doc:
*MacOSX*

In general this should be similar to Linux/Unix machines. In versions 10.4
and later, the native MacOSX tar works, and also supports resource forks.
xtar is another option, and rsync works too (although the MacOSX-supplied
rsync has an extension for extended attributes that is not compatible with
standard rsync).
Can someone explain what the parenthetical expression is suppose to mean? I
can interpret it in the following ways:
1. The Mac OSX supplied rsync has an extension for extended attributes (what
attributes specifically???) that is (should be 'are') not compatable with
standard rsynch'.and hence mac os 10.4 and greater will not work with
backup pc?

2. The Mac OSX supplied rsync has an extension for extended attributes (what
attributes specifically???) that is (should be 'are') not compatable with
standard rsynch'.and hence mac os 10.4 and greater will work correctly
when used with backup pc

3. The Mac OSX supplied rsync has an extension for extended attributes (what
attributes specifically???) that is (should be 'are') not compatable with
standard rsynch'.and hence mac os 10.4 and greater will work correctly
when used with backup pc but will produce the following side
effects...etc...

Which interpretation, if any, is correct?

Since I am not very 'Mac OS savvy' can someone annotate this description a
bit by describing how to check is rsync is installed and running correctly
on the Mac.  It is implied that the service is installed and running by
default but not clear at all.

Thanks for the clarification.

In your directory structure it looks like you want to restore from a host named 
fshac1 but you are asking for -h localhost.  And the -s option should match the 
sharename that was used in backuppc.

Can you try

please?

Does hostname=fshac1 makes sense to you?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Restoring files without backuppc

2010-02-15 Thread Huw Wyn Jones
Thanks for the replies. Really helpful :-)

OK so given that the stuff I need is in 

/backup/data/pc/fshac1/530/f%2fhome/fhefinw

does that translate to:

BackupPC_zipCreate -h fshac1 -n 530 -s fhefinw  /backup/hefin.zip

I'm a little unsure as what exactly is expected in share as I'd originally 
thought this was fshac1 (one of the hosts).

Thanks as ever for all the assistance.

Cheers

share is the name it had in the backuppc configuration.  With smb or rsyncd, 
it would be the name of the network share or module . With tar or rsync it 
would 
be the top directory of the tree for the run - if you only had one for the host 
  it might be '/'.

[BackupPC-users] Encrypting BackupPC TopDir

2010-02-15 Thread tribat

Would be cool to get the BackupPC TopDir on an encrypted container so I could 
backup machines that are running an encrypted OS. 

I found out that dm_crypt can be used between a loop mounted FS container to 
encrypt all the data in that container, there's just one problem, the size of 
the container isn't dynamic. So as the backup space requirements change you 
would need to manually shrink and grow the container and the filesystem in it. 
I don't want that.

The only dynamic crypto container solution I found was EncFS, it seems to be 
the perfect tool for the job. I tried and tried and tried on my Debian Lenny 
but I just couldn't get the TopDir to work on an EncFS mount residing on an 
ext3 partition. 

EncFS has a command line argument '--public' that is supposed to make the mount 
act as a normal multiuser mount, well it doesn't work. My backuppc user gets 
Permission Denied when trying to create new files. And I've checked that the 
filesystem permissions allowed writing for user backuppc.

Now when I do the default EncFS single user mount while logged in as user 
backuppc, the BackupPC 3.1.0 daemon starts all happy, but the WebUI refuses to 
connect to the daemon for some reason.

Has anyone got EncFS to work with BackupPC? Are there any other solutions I 
might wanna consider?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Restoring files without backuppc

2010-02-15 Thread Huw Wyn Jones
I'm loosing it here Les :( OK, if I understood what you meant correctly, 
something like:

/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zipCreate -c 4 -h fshac1 -n 530 -s 
/home/hefinw  /backup/hefin.zip

should work. Given the location of the directory 
(/backup/data/pc/fshac1/530/f%2fhome/fhefinw)

-h fshac1 = the BackupPC host
-n 530 = the backup no
-s /home/hefinw = the 'share' on the host
-c 4 = the compression level used when the backup was created

When I run the above command I simply get a 'usage' message! I've tried all 
sorts of variations (fhefinw etc etc) but without any greater success.

Very frustrating. 12.15am. Time for bed I think.

 Thanks for the replies. Really helpful :-)
 
 OK so given that the stuff I need is in 
 
 /backup/data/pc/fshac1/530/f%2fhome/fhefinw
 
 does that translate to:
 
 BackupPC_zipCreate -h fshac1 -n 530 -s fhefinw  /backup/hefin.zip
 
 I'm a little unsure as what exactly is expected in share as I'd originally 
 thought this was fshac1 (one of the hosts).

share is the name it had in the backuppc configuration.  With smb or rsyncd, 
it would be the name of the network share or module . With tar or rsync it 
would 
be the top directory of the tree for the run - if you only had one for the host 
  it might be '/'.
