Re: [BackupPC-users] Rsyncd cygwin Problem..
So, my goal was going to be rsync on all machines, I seem to have that
working fine now on my windows machines, but my work laptop is part of a
domain so I figured I would try rsyncd and learn how it worked in the
process. It is trying to backup, but it is not following my rules
correctly. It is only grabbing one of my directories and I am not sure
why!
It is only getting the /eng_apps area and not the other two, this was
working fine with smb.
Start of the LOG file
full backup started for directory root (baseline backup #12)
Connected to machine:873, remote version 30
Negotiated protocol version 28
Connected to module root
Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D
--links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times
.
.
Sent include: /users
Sent include: /users/wzpcnt
Sent include: /data
Sent include: /eng_apps
Sent exclude: /*
Sent exclude: /users/*
Rsyncd.conf on machine in c:\cygwin\etc
gid = users
read only = true
use chroot = false
transfer logging = false
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
log format = %h %o %f %l %b
hosts allow = x.x.x.x
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
strict modes = false
[root]
path = /cygdrive/c/
auth users = backuppc
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secret
machine.pl (I did everything via the CGI I see some smb settings are still
in the file, I omitted them this paste, I hope they are not causing the
issue)
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'*' = [
'/users/me',
'/data',
'/eng_apps'
]
};
$Conf{ClientCharset} = 'cp1252';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'root'
];
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'xxx';
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
So why is it only getting ONE of the directories I specified?
Under which user account is rsyncd running? My first guess would be that
it is a permission problem.
It may be enlightening to turn transfer logging on.

Re: [BackupPC-users] basic backup / BackupFilesOnly
Found it. And it has NOTHING to do with my config - and EVERYTHING to do
with where the config is.
OLD VERSION:: in the per-PC configuration file,
//var/lib/BackupPC//pc/$host/config.pl.
NEW VERSION:: __CONFDIR__/pc/HOST.pl per-pc config file
I was putting the client config in pc/lamp.config.pl
but in the new version it is pc/lamp.pl
I found this out by essentially trying to force my config to be used by
hard coding my shares into the $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} and having the dump
command not change. I messed around some more and found out it was ignoring
my client level config entirely. I could only make it do my bidding by
changing the master config ... eventually I found the problem.
Thanks for talking to me!

You are correct I killed it very quickly. Because in the previous version,
the dump command would show the actual shares I wanted on the command line
{ and not / } and I would not get any messages like
*Remote[2]: file has vanished: /proc/2/exe
*
which indicates it is *really* looking at / and not *only* at the mounts
I want.
You said:
*During this time, the target lamp is looking at every file on the
disk, once finished, it will send the list across.*
Really it looks at the whole disk when I don't want to backup the whole
disk?
Is it going to send the whole list across?
Has this changed in this version then? Because I can run dump on my old
version and it does not do that.
*

*If that is not what you want, then you should change the configuration.
If you only wish to backup /home/foo and /home/bar you have two options:
1) Setup the shares as /home/foo and /home/bar instead of /
2) Setup the share as /home and use the include or exclude option as
needed.
If you only need those two directories, then I would just use two shares
to back them up. This also means you would probably not need the
one-file-system option as you are unlikely to mount other FS under these
directories, but I would use it anyway just in case.
*
FWIW boxes on same lan, no firewall, lamp just has one disk with
everything in /
OK, so the main thing that was not clear is that you cancelled immediately
because it didn't do what you wanted, I assumed it had hung. See above
for the solution.

Adam

Did you try using the web interface to make the config changes?

Re: [BackupPC-users] basic backup / BackupFilesOnly
I'm kind of a commandline junkie. So using a GUI anything is not really
where I go. In my world a GUI is not a better/safer/more accurate way to
edit anything. Why bother setting up special permissions for CGI access if
you have root and can drive vi like a mad pengiun.
So no
:)

Well, mostly because it would have worked or at least made it obvious that your hand-edited files were in the wrong place. And since it supports adding hosts to the hosts file with a NEW=OLD syntax it really isn't any harder than copying a similar file manually as a starting point. And for most installs the web interface shouldn't need anything special for that part that you don't already need (i.e. a web login for an admin user). So no I'd recommend trying it - you might like it and it at least does some sanity checks on things for you. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
