Re: [BackupPC-users] Proper syntax to delete a particular directory within a share

2017-06-13 Thread Craig Barratt via BackupPC-users 
Bob,

Try this (add a space after the share name, and add quotes around the path
since it contains a space):

./BackupPC_backupDelete -h n6850.local -n 4 -s Backup-Data-Folder "/Time
Machine"

[BackupPC-users] Proper syntax to delete a particular directory within a share

2017-06-13 Thread Bob Katz 
I'm trying to delete an entire directory that should have been excluded
from all backups. (Ironically, this directory contains all OSX time
machine backups on the network so you can see why I need to exclude
it). I think (I hope) I've got the exclude syntax working but I want to
delete this extensive backup that's wasting space on the backup volume.

The host name is "n6850.local"
The rsync share name is "Backup-Data-Folder"
Method of backups is rsyncd if that's important.
It contains a directory called "Time Machine". In the CGI this shows up
as:
"Backup-Data-Folder/Time Machine"

I've run the following command chasing it down from the highest
numbered backup down, but the CGI gui still shows "Time Machine" as
containing data after I run it several times each time decrementing the
backup #. I ran it several times because each time the delete command
merges the backup into the next lower backup so I figured I need to run
the delete command once for each valid backup number. I don't fully
understand the progress indications that come up after I run the delete
command. Here's an example trying to delete the particular folder
within backup #4:


./BackupPC_backupDelete -h n6850.local -n 4 -s Backup-Data-Folder/Time
Machine

Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

P.S. 

backuppc is a killer app! (meaning "I love it"). 
Status shows current CPool V4 is 7.78 T. Prior to pooling and
compression it would have taken up 63.37 T! I "only" have 22 T capacity
 storage so it's a damn good thing we have excellent de-
duplication!


Best wishes,


Bob

Re: [BackupPC-users] acls and xattrs attributes

2017-06-13 Thread Robert Wooden 
Wanted to let you know that removing the "--one-file-system" has solved the
problem.

After I rebuilt to v4.1.3, I removed the "--one-file-system" from
$Conf{RsyncArgs} and ran a full backup. When finished all the /home
directory structure now appears when "browsing backups." Previously it had
always been "empty."

This is great. You started me on this quest about four years ago and
finally, I can backup our Samba4 active directory system member
servers.(You had just released v4.0beta and then took a break for your day
job.)

Thanks.

 I have a second Samba4 member file server (that was replaced by the
 newer one I have having issues with that BackupPC v4.1.2 will NOT backup
 the /home directory) that has been "shutoff" for a while. It's /home
 directory contains the same "acls" and "xattrs" file attributes adjustments
 as the newer one. I created a backup host listing and started a
 'full-backup'. The result for this machine was the same as the newer
 machine, no backup of /home despite no exclusion of the /home directory.
 "Browsing the backup" shows the same /home is empty as the newer member
 file server.
