Re: [BackupPC-users] Fuse filesystem to explore backups

[Craig Barratt via BackupPC-users]

Daniel,

I updated backuppcfs.pl for 4.x.  I've attached the gzip'ed new version.

Unfortunately fuse creates its own inode numbers, so hardlinks won't be
correctly rendered via fuse (ie: the inode numbers of two hardlinked files
won't be the same when viewed via fuse).

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC Excludes - How To

[Akibu Flash]

Now that I have gotten my backuppc to work, I am backing up certain files on a 
Windows harddrive.  Most of the directories and files on the harddrive are to 
be backed up, but I want to exclude several directories from the backup and the 
files contained therein.  Instead of indicating to backuppc the directories to 
be backed up in RsyncShareName (which are numerous), I would like to merely 
tell backuppc to backup the entire drive (in this case, "/cygdrive/j/") and to 
exclude several of the directories on the the j drive (e.g. hey backuppc, 
exclude "/cygdrive/j/useless_stuff_1", "/cygdrive/j/useless_stuff_2" etc.).  
How can this be accomplished?  When I look at the backuppc excludes function 
using the cgi interface, and the examples given, I am a bit confused.  Do I 
merely type the below in the cgi interface to exclude the aforementioned:

BackupFilesExclude = ['/cygdrive/j/useless_stuff_1', 
'/cygdrive/j/useless_stuff_2']  (btw, is the "=" needed in the box or do I just 
start with the open "[")

Or do I type the above or some variant directly into /etc/backuppc/config.pl or 
the akibu-desktop.pl config file?  Thanks.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Unexplained Error Code 255 - BackupPC

[Akibu Flash]

@Craig Barratt that was indeed the 
problem.  I was able to get my ssh to use password-less login and sorted out 
the list of known_hosts issue and that seemed to do the trick.

Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts 
(/home/backuppc/.ssh/known_hosts).

In addition to password-less login, this error is also a problem.  It probably 
means your permissions on ~backuppc/.ssh/known_hosts are wrong.  Without the 
client being in known_hosts, ssh will prompt every time to be sure you want to 
proceed.

So there are two prompts (ok to proceed & password) you need to get rid of.
