Re: [BackupPC-users] Unable to ping [Solved] /workaround/
I was able to get the server connected and backing up. In the 'ClientNameAlias' field, I entered the servers IP address.

[BackupPC-users] rsync --exclude options - why are they stripped?
This question has been asked before (http://sourceforge.net/p/backuppc/mailman/message/22459100/, http://sourceforge.net/p/backuppc/mailman/message/31066154/), but I haven't seen any answers, so I ask again, because this is something I really want to understand. The Documentation of RsyncArgsExtra (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#_conf_rsyncargsextra_) mentions explicity its usefulness for defining rsync-style include/exclude rules (which are much more flexible than BackupPC's own rules). However, looking at the XFerLog, any --exclude options used in RsyncArgsExtra are never actually used by BackupPC. The code explicity removes these options with the following line in Rsync.pm: $argList = File::RsyncP->excludeStrip($argList); This code has been added before the 3.0.0beta0 release, in Rsync.pm 1.25 (http://backuppc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/backuppc/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm?r1=1.24&r2=1.25), in the course of implementing support for rsync hardlinks. There is no comment or changelog entry explaining the specific purpose of this call. Personally, I don't understand what suppressing --exclude options may have to do with hardlink support. It would be an easy hack to just comment out the code line above and get support for --exclude/include. However, maybe I am overlooking something highly important, thus the question here again: Why does BackupPC strip the rsync exclude options? +-- |This was sent by martin.wi...@ts.fujitsu.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.

Got it, finallly - the include/exclude options are sent to the client via the rsync protocol.

I'd have to look at the current code closely to be sure, but from memory, rsync sends the in-/excludes via the rsync protocol exchange rather than on the command line. Your XferLOG should contain lines starting with "Sent exclude" (or include, I suppose). I remember the code moving also in-/excludes from the RsyncArgsExtra (or was it RsyncArgs?) and not only applying this to the in-/excludes it generates itself. I don't recall the order in which they are sent, but putting the ones from RsyncArgsExtra first would seem to make most sense. This may have been changed by the patch you mention. I'll look into it, when I find the time. Does your XferLOG include any "Sent exclude" lines? Aside from RsyncArgsExtra, you should also be able to put arbitrary rsync style in-/exclude rules in the BackupFilesExclude list, as these are passed verbatim to rsync (also via the protocol exchange, I believe). RsyncFilesOnly, on the other hand, is used to generate sets of includes and excludes. Regards, Holger -- Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7. Monitor 10 servers for $9/Month.

[BackupPC-users] ssh-keygen on Ubuntu 14.04
Hi all on an Ubuntu 14.04 server I've installed backuppc afresh, moved /var/lib/backuppc to /mnt/raid (a raid1 soft raid setup) and am in the process of configuring the last steps. Web access is fine and I can add hosts etc but I've reached a stumbling block with the ssh-key setup. Following the backuppc install notes on the site I do: su - backuppc and would then expect to follow the prompts after doing ssh-keygen (which I've done successfully on another box, albeit on 12.04). However, I hit a snag with this: No directory, logging in with HOME=/ Permissions are such that backuppc cannot create a home directory for itself. So when I try and run ssh-keygen I get permission error if I try and save to default location from the command. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa): Could not create directory '/home/backuppc/.ssh': No such file or directory Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): I've therefore tried to save to /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa as I know backuppc is the owner of /var/lib/backuppc but get this error: open /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa failed: No such file or directory. So I took the plunge and created /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/ and created the public key there. And then run ssh-keygen -t rsa which completes with no error and an ls /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/ shows the 2 files id_rsa an id.rsa.pub there If it then try and copy the file from backuppc to my target client with $ ssh-copy-id -i /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@remoteserver I get this (this is sending to a Mac 10.5 server in case thats relevant) mktemp: failed to create file via template ‘//.ssh/ssh-copy-id_id.XX’: No such file or directory mktemp failed I suspect I'm making this more complicated and difficult than it really needs to be. And perhaps a simple tweak right at the outset to sort my lack of home directory on backuppc user or similar may be the solution. Or perhaps I need to enable root on the server? I've been banging my head against this metaphorical wall for some time now so anyone who has any suggestions please let me know. best. -- Tom -- Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.

Hey Les as usual you were spot on.

Re: [BackupPC-users] ssh-keygen on Ubuntu 14.04
User backuppc, by default, has the home directory in the same place where the files will be saved, or, if you prefer, files get saved into user backuppc HOME. You relocated the save space (how? if You installed from source it's ok, but otherwise there are a number of problems there), but I guess you forgot to relocate the pointer to the home directory in /etc/passwd. Symptoms say home-dir field in passwd holds an invalid value. backuppc should have a valid home-dir, even if is prevented from logging directly setting shell to something invalid (e.g. /bin/false). Fix that and then you'll be able to proceed with keygen Nella citazione in data mercoledì 12 novembre 2014 23:46:55, Tom Fallon ha scritto: > Hi all > > on an Ubuntu 14.04 server I've installed backuppc afresh, moved > /var/lib/backuppc to /mnt/raid (a raid1 soft raid setup) and am in the > process of configuring the last steps. > > Web access is fine and I can add hosts etc but I've reached a stumbling > block with the ssh-key setup.

Re: [BackupPC-users] ssh-keygen on Ubuntu 14.04
Hi all and thanks for the prompt and helpful answers. I installed this via normal Ubuntu packages which I believe installs the backuppc user as part of the install. Les' idea of mounting first to /var/lib/backuppc and *then* installing backuppc makes a lot of sense. So I've unmounted /mnt/raid, done an apt-get purge backuppc, deleted the backuppc user and the /var/lib/backuppc directory. I've created a new empty /var/lib/backuppc directory and mounted this to /dev/md0 which is my Raid1 setup. And then edited the /etc/fstab to read as below to retain mount on reboot: #mount raid set /dev/md0 /var/lib/backuppc ext4defaults1 2 And *then* reinstalled backuppc via apt-get install backuppc. The backuppc user now shows in /etc/passwd as below which looks much healthier: backuppc:x:106:115:BackupPC,,,:/var/lib/backuppc:/bin/sh Now ssh-keygen seems to work as expected. $ su - backuppc $ ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa): Created directory '/var/lib/backuppc/.ssh'. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. Lastly running ssh-copy-id -i /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@remote-mac-server worked fine too so the issue must have all been to do with the funky backuppc user install on the server. Thanks again everyone, this mailing list rocks.
