[BackupPC-users] smbclient tar problem with umlauts

[Johannes König]

Hi everybody,

since about one week, I have severe problems backing up our windows 2012 r2 
server and our synology running DSM 6.

Here's a log from the windows server 2012 r2:

Running: /usr/bin/smbclient .\\D\$ -U X -E -d 1 -c

Backup aborted (No files dumped for share D$)
Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one 
(got 732 and 0 files versus 732)

As you can see, all files with umlauts cannot be backupped. I assume this has 
something to do with the samba upgrade to 4.2, which was discussed some days 
ago on the list.
The same error shows also when backing up the synology via smb.

Until one week ago, everything worked. I am using debian jessie as a basic 
system and I have automatic updates in place. The last successful update took 
place in April 13, 2016.

Is there anything I can do right now to solve the umlaut conversion problem or 
do I have to wait until backuppc is adjusted to the new samba version?

Best regards,
Johannes Koenig

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Web Interface Not Displaying Correctly - 4.0.0alpha3


Dear Group,


I am setting up BackupPC version 4.0.0alpha3 and am having a peculiar problem 
with the manner in which the web interface is displaying.  The problem is that 
the BackupPC logo and and images do not appear to display correctly no matter 
which browser is being used.  They almost appear to be broken links somehow.  
In fact, they don't really appear to display at all.  (See attached screenshot 
as well as image below).  Has anyone run into this and if so, can you walk me 
through what I am doing wrong.  It is probably something simple, but I can't 
quite figure it out.  I opted for the SCGI option for setting up the CGI 
interface so my apache.conf configuration file contains the following entries:


LoadModule scgi_module modules/mod_scgi.so
SCGIMount /BackupPC_Admin 127.0.0.1:10268


Other entries in my /etc/BackupPC/config.pl file are:


$Conf{CgiURL} = 'http://linux-desktop/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin';


$Conf{RrdToolPath} = '/usr/bin/rrdtool';

$Conf{SCGIServerPort} = 10268;


$Conf{CgiImageDir} = '/var/www/htdocs/BackupPC';


$Conf{CgiImageDirURL} = '/BackupPC';


Please advise if you need any further information.  Thanks.


Akibu

[BackupPC-users] New BPC install on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

[Sorin Srbu]

Hi all,

I just recently installed a new BPC-server, and this time I used Ubuntu
Server 14.04 LTS instead of my regular choice of CentOS 6.

The BPC version I installed is v3.3.0 and was from the default repos.
V3.3.0 seems to work fine except for an irritating lack of graphs on the
main web-gui page.

I figured I'd try out the 4.0 alpha as it's reported to just work, and is
also said to include some smaller performance improvements.

Would I be safe in just using the install instructions as specified at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/backuppc-beta/4.0.0alpha3/
or do I need to know anything else before proceeding?

Good one Carl.

I was kinda' going towards that conclusion myself.

If I can't figure out a piece of software in about two hours it's out. 
Being the "it-department" over here puts stress on time spent on stuff.

I suppose. 8-)

I'm willing too, to put down some work to make e.g. BPC work on a "modern"
platform, but not too much. Time is money...

That may be acceptable if you're a programmer who knows the ins and outs of
CPAN, and is willing to keep track of software installed from source.
However, those of us who administrate dozens or hundreds of machines
(amongst which BackupPC is just one piece of software) require packaging
which integrates with the OS. The installation process should be as simple
as 'apt-get install backuppc', answer some questions, edit a few config
files, and you're done. It's already more work to install BackupPC than it
is Crashplan, and it offers fewer features (in some ways). BPC still wins on
cost, transparency, and flexibility of operation; but it does not solve all
our backup needs (such as client-driven push backups or site replication)
and as such is only one of several backup solutions we use.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Status on new BackupPC v4

[Bob of Donelson Trophy]

I could be completely wrong but, I have v4.0alpha and v3.31(?) running
on two different machines and both are just doing their job. Backing up
clients at their locations. 

Backuppc (IMO) has always been a simple frontend for rsync with some
scripts that guide rsync (and other programs) to store backups. 

At this moment, those scripts are working fine with the current versions
of rsync (and all the other programs (MySQL, LAMP stack, etc.) needed to
make Backuppc work.) 

All these other programs are independent of Backuppc and until those
scripts (that essentially are Backuppc) fail, we the users have little
to fear . . . not trying to start any fear and doubt . . . otherwise
known as FUD. 

Today, there are thousands of Backuppc machines running everywhere. 

Someday, when the need arises, someone will pickup the banner and run
with it. Post the fix to whatever script needs a line change and we the
users will continue to enjoy the benefits. 

Just my two cents . . . (but, if someone out there is thinking of
picking up the banner . . . think about ACL's . . . to me this appears
to be the next needed step, that was started by Craig with v4.0 that
currently does not work.) 

See there is a need, now!!

Some weeks ago, I installed BackupPC on a Banana Pi based on a Centos7
OS environment. The support for that ARM-platform is still very
basic, but even if the EPEL-repo is not available, I managed to get all
necessary perl components installed. Partly by building them with CPAN
or from rebuilding RPMs from source. It took me about two evenings to
collect all bits and pieces.

You never know what happens in the future, but so far, I do not see
any trouble within the next 8 years at least. This would be the EOL
date for CentOS7. 

Good enough?

Hi Michael!
When it will become too mature, it will fall down!

The World outside IS evolving!

Today BPC is a great piece of software and I use it and I like it, but 
in a few year without development it will be good for a place in a OSS 
Museum!

why would you need an alternative? BackupPC is a mature product. I do
not miss any features. Just use it.
In fact, I appreciate the fact that it is not evolving to a feature
monster over time.

Hi there!

In retrospect I realise I should have written something about that in my
previous post. 8-)

I any case, I have no problem with using old software. 
Just because BPC isn't apparently maintained anymore, doesn't mean it will
suddenly stop working.

However, it's a so-so feeling using a software that's been for all practical
purposes abandoned for many years now.

Don't misunderstand me, BPC works just fine over here.

I'm just looking ahead and mulling over what to do whenever, and if, e.g.
CentOS 6/7/8+ stops BPC from working because of missing libs and/or other
dependencies.

why would you need an alternative? BackupPC is a mature product. I do
not miss any features. Just use it.
In fact, I appreciate the fact that it is not evolving to a feature
monster over time.

 best regards

That is indeed sad. 8-/

I hope it's not off-topic on this particular list, but what alternatives do
we have, that are as easy to install and maintain as BPC?

Sad news.
My personal opinion is the Project is effectively dead because none 
(interested) has write access to the official repositories.
There are several clones floating around (several on github, including a 
semi-official one), but without a central aggregation point there's no way this 
can evolve somehow.
I know very well this is provocation and I would like very much to be proved 
wrong, but no update in three years is deep coma, if not death.
I already asked for someone of the knowledgeable persons (there are several 
here on the list) to take the lead.
I got a resounding silence as an answer.

Sadly
Mauro
