Re: [BackupPC-users] tar backup - BackupPC_tarExtract exited with fail status 256

2018-11-26 Thread Craig Barratt via BackupPC-users 
Jean-Marc,

Thanks for reporting back on this issue and confirming the uncompressed
file contents are the same.  As you saw, in 4.3.0 having a duplicate pool
file is no longer a fatal error for BackupPC_tarExtract - it just adds a
warning message to the XferLOG file.

I can't explain why two different but identical pool files got created.  It
must have been that the first file there failed to match when it should
have, causing BackupPC to think the new file was different.  This could be
due to a wide variety of reasons -  a bug somewhere, undetected memory
errors, an undetected disk error etc.  There's no real side effect, other
than a tiny increase in pool storage since you have two copies of the
file.  Eventually one of them will no longer be referenced (when the
corresponding backup is deleted) and it will be removed.

Craig

Re: [BackupPC-users] Find file given digest (and a decompression error)

Pigz doesn't correctly support BackupPC compressed files, although it will
in some cases.  The reported error is likely the problem.  Please use
BackupPC_zcat instead and report back.

I added a guide to the Wiki to find out where a pool file is referenced

[BackupPC-users] Find file given digest (and a decompression error)

2018-11-26 Thread Guillermo Rozas 
Hi,

following the advice from Alex [1] I successfully created a script to check
the cpool on the server for checksum errors. So far I've found 2 files
whose name do not match their checksum. Is there a simple way to find to
which paths correspond those files given their MD5 digest?

Actually, I'm still unsure if there is a problem with the files themselves
or with the decompression, as pigz complains that "trailing junk was
ignored" on both files. Any idea why could be that?

Best regards,
Guillermo

Yeah Ed, sorry this isn't clearer on the main page but Craig discourages

I have just attempted to install/update to version 4.2.1 from 3.3.2 and when I 
try to do so:
./configure.pl
I get the following error:
BackupPC needs the package version.  Please install version before installing

I have complied and installed BackupPC-XS-0.58 as well prior to updating.

I don't understand what that means can anyone help?

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC 4.3.0 released

2018-11-26 Thread Craig Barratt via BackupPC-users 
BackupPC 4.3.0 
has been released on Github.  This release has a few new features (eg,
checking inode usage on the BackupPC filesystem) and some improvements (eg,
html table sorting), in addition to a number of bug fixes.

In addition, rsync-bpc 3.0.9.13
 and backuppc-xs
0.58  have been
released.  Those are very minor updates, and upgrading from rsync-bpc
3.0.9.12 or backuppc-xs 0.57 is not necessary to run BackupPC 4.3.0.

The changes since 4.2.1 are listed below.

I'd like to thank the folks that contributed to this release, and people
who helped debug issues.

Enjoy!

Craig

Re: [BackupPC-users] Error when try to upgrade to version 4.2.1

2018-11-26 Thread Craig Barratt via BackupPC-users 
Yes, that's a cryptic message, but it literally means what it says: there
is a perl package called "version" that is not installed.

So you need to use CPAN to install it prior to installing BackupPC, eg:

sudo cpan
install version


I'll make the error message clearer.

The hostname is not really bogus, as it's a valid one behind the
bastion. And it makes it easier to manage my .ssh/config on BackupPC's side

Great, I'll test this ASAP and let you know


Thanks for your answer :-)

Do you know when 4.2.2 will be available ?


I've been reviewing the mail list over the last few months, and there 
are still a couple of reported issues I'm trying to replicate or learn 
more about.


Hopefully I get 4.2.2 out by the end of November.
