Re: [BackupPC-users] Fwd: Re: BackupPC v4 for Fedora / EPEL Update
I think I figured it out... I'm not sure if I should automate this in the packaging or not but you just need to add apache to the backuppc group... usermod -a -G backuppc apache You may have to reboot for it to take effect since you can't "login" as apache...

Perfect, there is your "smoking gun". So, do the following: ps aux|grep apache See what user apache is running as (you also need the group, probably just get that from the apache config files). Now do the following commands: ls -ld /etc/BackupPC ls -ld /etc/BackupPC/apache.users Lets assume apache is running with the user apache Lets assume the /etc/BackupPC directory is owned by backuppc, and is secured so that it is not world readable (a pretty good idea since it is likely to contain passwords in the various config files). Lets assume the /etc/BackupPC/apache.users file is owned by backuppc as well. You would need to do the following commands to "fix" it (ie, allow apache to read the passwd file). chgrp apache /etc/BackupPC chmod g+rx /etc/BackupPC (edit config probably won't work, but it should fix your current problem). You might also need the following: chgrp apache /etc/BackupPC/apache.users chmod g+r /etc/BackupPC/apache.users The other option is to simply do this: mv /etc/BackupPC/apache.users /etc/apache2/backuppc.users chown apache /etc/apache2/backuppc.users Update the apache config file to point to the new location. Then, restart apache and you should be fine.

Hum-m-m-m?? To Tim, I changed the user and group to "backuppc" and noticed this. The first login asked for the user and password. The second and every logion after that automatically logged in, no request for user and password. Odd . . . so I reset the user and group back to apache. I also noticed that when I modify the /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf to allow "Require all granted" it always logs in with asking for user and password. The last thing I noticed is in both cases the navigation menu (on the left side under "SERVER") contains only five entries. Status, Host Summary, Documentation, Wiki, Github are listed entries. Compared to my v3 box, missing are Edit Config, Edit Hosts, Admin Options, LOG File, Old LOGs, Email Summary, Current Queues, and Sourceforge (which I think is only there because it's v3.) This leads me to believe apache is "seeing" the incorrect permissions for the backuppc user, for that matter, any user and is not allowing admin access. Therefore it comes back to a permissions issue. Perhaps this info will help Richard or anyone else to guide me to an operational v4? -- ___ Bob Wooden of Donelson Trophy-- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

It should not be necessary to run apache as the backuppc user. When I have some time I may have to setup a CentOS 7 box up from scratch. I'm not sure at this point what I've tweaked but I'm not having the same problem.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Full backups disappear
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 90;
I'll try increasing $Conf{FullKeepCnt} to see if that helps.

How many full backups are you keeping (ie, what are
$Conf{FullKeepCnt}, $Conf{FullAgeMax} and $Conf{FullKeepCntMin} set to)?
With 4.x, it is no longer necessary to keep extra full backups around
for the incrementals (since filled/non-filled and incremental/full are
decoupled), so it's possible those settings were too small.

I have recently moved to BackupPC version 4, and strange things
now happen to my full backups.
I have set
$Conf{FullPeriod} = '60';
which I believe would indicate a full backup every 60 days.
However, instead I get a full backup every other day.
The "Backup Summary" on the admin page looks like this:
Backup# TypeFilled Level Start Date Duration/mins Age/days
Server Backup Path
15 incr
no 1 3/20 20:06 14.012.7/var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/15
17 incr
no 1 3/22 20:05 15.310.7/var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/17
19 incr
no 1 3/24 20:04 12.68.7 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/19
21 incr
no 1 3/27 20:05 13.35.8 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/21
22
partial no 0 3/28 20:00 0.0 4.8
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/22
25 incr

26 full
yes 0 4/2 13:00 62.60.1
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/26
Except for a problem around backup 22/23 you see this pattern:
Backups 15, 17, 19, 21, 25 (all odd numbers) are incremental;
backups 16, 18, 20, 24 (all even numbers) are missing.
Backup 26 (an even number) is full. Tomorrow, the list will show
backup 27 being incremental and backup 26 will have disappeared.
The day after tomorrow a new full backup 28 will appear.
Is this the intended behaviour?

All I got when browsing to http://ipadress/BackupPC was a Error 500 - Internal Server Error. I did the installation from the rpm on a clean install of minimal CentOS 7. Your permissions in /etc/BackupPC/ look good to me, I have the same permissions. What solved it for me is that I changed the "User" and "Group" in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf from "apache" to "backuppc" followed by a "systemctl restart httpd" After that all worked fine. I am not sure what would be the correct steps if you use apache on the same Host for anything else besides BackupPC.
