Re: [BackupPC-users] I get the error No files dumped for share, but actually it worked and the next Samba share is not processed [SOLVED]
Well, using the client IP in ClientNameAlias the Samba copy works well now. I can't understand that, because ping clientname and nmblookup clientname return the correct host IP.

Re: [BackupPC-users] backuppc and Win7
Forgot to mention two other steps.
If you use the global 'backuppc/conf/config.pl' file:
1. Set the backup user name.
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
2. Set the backup user password.
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'L2t608G';
Otherwise set the same variables in the per PC (backuppc/pc/your_pc_name)
file.
I probably don't use the same version of BackupPC as you so the paths above
may be different.

Yes... share the c drive... depending on your config, you might
not have the c$ share enabled by default (or restricted by the firewall
and network settings).

Re: [BackupPC-users] backuppc and Win7
In my experience with W7 and BackupPC, the c: drive does not need to be shared. Rather than help troubleshoot your error. I'll outline what I do which is 100% successful on the network I administer. 0. I assume you've properly configured BackupPC. 1. Install cygwin-rsync-2.6.8_0 as 'c:\rsyncd' on the client (W7) machine. I usually install the folder as an administrative user, but this may not be necessary. 2. Create a 'backuppc' user on the W7 machine. Make sure user 'backuppc' is password protected. Remember the password for the next step. 3. Alter c:\rsyncd\rsync.secrets so the 'login:password' pair is 'backuppc:the_backuppc_password' 4. Make sure the following options in c:\rsyncd\rsync.conf cDrive module are correct. [cDrive] path = c: comment = Entire Drive auth users = backuppc secrets file = c:/rsync/rsyncd.secrets hosts allow = 192.168.50.101 # Change to the IP of your backuppc server. strict modes = false read only = false list = false 5. Open a command line window with Administrator privileges. At the command line run c:\rsyncd\services.bat. Check to make sure the rsyncd service is running and set to run automatically after reboot. 6. Ensure the rsync.secrets file is read-only in Properties. 7. In Windows Firewall allow the rsync program (c:/rsyncd/rsync.exe) to receive and send traffic. You'll need to create a new firewall rule for both inbound and outbound traffic. 8. Test the configuration at the server with rsync -av backuppc@host-name::cDrive . Run the command from a temp directory which you'll delete after the test. Or just try a backup from the BackupPC intranet interface. Once you have BackupPC running on the client PC, you might want to exclude a large number of system files to make your backups much faster and the server storage requirement smaller.

Backuppc fires off the error Get fatal error during xfer (no files dumped for share C$). Any suggestions? Yes... share the c drive... depending on your config, you might not have the c$ share enabled by default (or restricted by the firewall and network settings). shouldn't that lead to a different error? As I read the source, no files dumped for share is produced for a dump where no other error was detected, yet no files were read - perhaps due to insufficient permissions to access any files (oh, and it's *Got* fatal error ..., so we know it's only an approximation of the actual error message ;-). More context from the XferLOG would probably help in determining the actual problem. Are there error messages which BackupPC couldn't interpret leading up to the no files dumped ...? Have you tried running the exact same command BackupPC is trying from the command line? Can you connect to the client machine with 'smbclient' (something like 'smbclient //host/C\$ -U backup-user', if 'backup-user' is what BackupPC is using; see the man page for details) and list the contents of the share?

Is there any kind of BackupPC data on the machine itself required for recovery of the archived material? Depending on when and how you installed, there may be bits and pieces in different places. If you used one of the distribution-packaged versions you can use the package tools to see where things land (e.g. rpm -q --list packagename).
