[BackupPC-users] Added Directories and Incremental
So, now that I have backuppc running, the Ubuntu distribution had setup up a Tar backup of /etc for localhost. I went in and added a couple of locations to that backup. (TarShareName from GUI) The next incremental looks like it found all the directories and added them, but it didn't add *ANY *files. Is this the correct behaviour? Does that mean I should kick off a full backup myself? And if I manually kickoff a backup will all the "rules" still be in effect (# of full backups etc?). Thanks, just trying to make sure things are working properly on my first usage of this great tool.

Tar based incrementals can only use the timestamp to determine which files have changed since the backing full and thus should be included. The files it is not taking must have a timestamp older than the full run. If you use rsync for the xfer, it can compare the directories to see which files are new. You can force a full any time and the specified number of backups will be kept - just note that the timespan of those backups may not cover what you expected. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

[BackupPC-users] windows/scripts
Good evening, I'm trying to backup a windows server (2003/2008) machine. Thing is, everytime I have to do a backup I must stop some services before. I know that while using rsyncd backupPC has an option which is named 'DumpPreUserCmd' and which allows to run a script before doing the backup but I don't understand how to use it in order to solve my problem. If I understood right, the script that will be run is set on the backup machine not on the one you want to back up. How could I make the script run on my windows machine? Where d I have to save the script?

The venerable winexe is up to the task; the alternative to shutting down services is to use shadow copies. There's a solution for that here: http://www.michaelstowe.com/backuppc/ It could stand to be better documented, but it's solid. There's an alternative solution using ssh on the wiki, IIRC. -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

The "proper" way to copy open files is using Shadow Copies, but rsync presents an interesting conundrum, because the shadow copy has to be available before rsync is started, so running an rsync service probably won't work (unless you go to the trouble or writing your own rsync-compatible, non-Cygwin, VSS-capable service, I guess. DeltaCopy is not such a thing.) At any rate, there are at least two VSS/rsync based solutions, but I'm not aware of an rsync service working with open files at all. -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

Yes, I use rsyncd for the backup and restore protocol for both my linux
and windows boxes (use cygwin rsyncd as a service on the windows boxes).

OK, so that is the right process, and it tells us that it is waiting for something to happen. Is the remote box a windows machine (I think it was but I forget now)? I've had this exact issue with windows rsyncd before when doing backups more than restores, and for me, the solution was one or more of: 1) Upgrade to the newest version of rsync 2) Upgrade to the newest version of ssh and use rsync over ssh or rsyncd over ssh I'm not sure what else I did, but now I use the vss/rsync method which mostly/usually works Regards, Adam -- Adam Goryachev Website Managers www.websitemanagers.com.au -- Master SQL Server Development, Administration, T-SQL, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS and more.

[BackupPC-users] windows/scripts
Hello Michael, first of all thank you for answering me. I'm going to use winexe to test it out since the teacher wants us to stop the service. Whil reading the read me file, I saw that winexe is using the samba protocole. Since my windows server isn't in the same network, I'll to go throw the internet but I head that samba isn't secured. Is using winexe still a good choice? Even if I have to go throw the internet?
