Re: [BackupPC-users] I broke my cgi interface! :(
This is what I get on line 64 in config.pl: $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} =
'['/']';
I've also changed the value to undef without any difference. I guess
the bigger problem is that it says it can't execute the config.pl file.
What should the permissions for config.pl be? I've changed it to the
following without success:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 backuppc backuppc 6708 Mar 26 08:12 config.pl
Anything else I can or should check?
Highly appreciated,

Re: [BackupPC-users] Trouble with backup of client using rsync and visudo
Great :) I've remember to notice that if you leave visudo on what we called the restore settings, you loose security, but you can do both restore and backup. So, less security, but you don't need to keep changing visudo (sudoers settings). Glad to know it's working Luis On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 7:50 PM, Kenneth L.

Hi, Jaco
you get the error when you click on what?
Don't you get to see the cgi at all?
You may try to put a # in the begining of line 64, I guess.
Why should you exclude '/' by default?

[BackupPC-users] Rolling Full Backup + Incremental
Hey Guys, Trying to get BackupPC to implement the following backup schedule. Full Backup With 13 incrementals Instead of having the Full Backup scheduled off a timer, I would like the oldest incremental to be merged into the Full Backup. The objective is to achieve a Full Backup 14 days old, with incremental's up until the last backup. I can't see how BackupPC can achieve this, however it may be something I have not deduced myself from the documentation. Any idea's if a schema like this is possible ? -- Kind regards, Jonathan Molyneux Infinitedepth Consulting jonat...@infinitedepth.com.au -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

You can control the timing of fulls with $Conf{FullPeriod}, but if you are
using
rsync or rsyncd, the full runs will always copy the differences from the
previous full even if subsequent incrementals have already copied them.

[BackupPC-users] Installing on Red Hat Enterprise
I am trying to get BackupPC installed on Red Hat Enterprise. I downloaded the latest file from sourceforge BackupPC-3.2.0beta1.tar.gz Following the directions in the documents I ran perl configure.pl I used all of the default settings. When I was finished I then copied the linux-backuppc file from the init.d directory to /etc/init.d. I copied the BackupPC.conf file from the httpd directory of the src to /etc/httpd/conf.d. I edited the BackupPC.conf file (in /etc/httpd/conf.d) so the directory portion points to /usr/local/BackupPC When I try httpd://localhost/BackupPC I get challenged for a username and password and this will read the .htaccess file I created but then I get nothing. I edited the hosts file in /etc/BackupPC for the two hosts I am starting with also. This is a umpteenth time I have tried this install. I have asked previous users I had contact with and they tell me that the BackupPC should be getting installed in /usr/share/BackupPC and that the programs live at an sbin directory. This sbin directory never gets created? Is there another tar ball I need to start with for Red Hat, or some src files I should be using. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. TIF John J.

You don't want quotes on the outside of the square brackets.
Or alternatively, since it's only one item and not an array, you don't
want square brackets.

I edited the BackupPC.conf file (in /etc/httpd/conf.d) so the directory portion points to /usr/local/BackupPC When I try httpd://localhost/BackupPC I get challenged for a username and password and this will read the .htaccess file I created but then I get nothing. I edited the hosts file in /etc/BackupPC for the two hosts I am starting with also. This is a umpteenth time I have tried this install. I have asked previous users I had contact with and they tell me that the BackupPC should be getting installed in /usr/share/BackupPC and that the programs live at an sbin directory. This sbin directory never gets created? Is there another tar ball I need to start with for Red Hat, or some src files I should be using. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Is the backuppc process running? Are you using suexec? If this is a dedicated backuppc server (like mine) just change the apache user to 'backuppc'.

I turned off my firewall to test this out and it didn't make any
difference at all.
What I don't understand is, if nmblookup -A 192.168.15.155 is working
from
the command line (as user backuppc) then why does the web interface
complain about it? Is there something missing in the reply from
nmblookup

backup
of
laptop1 from within the web interface I get the following
message:
*Error: Can't find IP address for laptop1*
* *
*laptop1 is a DHCP host, and I don't know its IP address. I
checked
the
netbios name of 192.168.15.155, and found that that machine is
not
laptop1.*
* *
*Until I see laptop1 at a particular DHCP address, you can
only
start
this request from the client machine itself.*
The strange thing is, I was on the client machine at the time
and
trying
to back it up manually from the web interface!
What does 'nmblookup -A 192.168.15.155' say (assuming you are
still at
the same IP)? It's going to use this to see if you are
connecting
from
the host in question.
Ok, now I am back on my network I can check this. Here is the
current
results of nmblookup my the backuppc server:
# nmblookup -R -U 192.168.15.2 laptop1
querying laptop1 on 192.168.15.2
192.168.15.155 laptop100
# nmblookup -A 192.168.15.155
Looking up status of 192.168.15.155
LAPTOP1 00 - P ACTIVE
DTWCONS 00 - GROUP P ACTIVE
LAPTOP1 20 - P ACTIVE
MAC Address = 00-21-6A-93-63-0C
So, not sure what all that means, but if I try and perform a backup
of
laptop1 from laptop1 by using the web interface I still get the
following message:
Error: Can't find IP address for laptop1
laptop1 is a DHCP host, and I don't know its IP address. I checked
the
netbios name of 192.168.15.155, and found that that machine is not
laptop1.
Until I see laptop1 at a particular DHCP address, you can only
start
this request from the client machine itself.
I also updated the config file for laptop1 such that
NmbLookupFindHostCmd is set to:
*$nmbLookupPath -R -U 192.168.15.2 $host*
You probably want to configure the WINS server in smb.conf so it
is the
default and will be used in all operations without having to
specify it
in the command line. You should also set
$Conf{DHCPAddressRanges}
in
backuppc so it will know where to probe for dhcp-assigned
addresses.
