If your DocumentRoot is set to /var/www, your url would be 
http://server/cgj-bin/BackupPC_Admin

My config.pl in my conf folder is configured as follows:

-rw-r-  1 backuppc apache   66391 Dec 10 07:23 config.pl

basically

chmod 640 config.pl
chown backuppc:apache config.pl

What does your .htaccess file in your cgi-bin folder contain? Mine is 
set to authenticate against my Samba domain, but I think yours should be 
something like:

# Your location might be different
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/passwd
AuthType basic
AuthName "BackupPC"
require valid-user

.htaccess and the passwd file would both be 644, owned by root:root

The keys are as I recall only used for remote access of hosts to backup, 
but could be wrong there. One thing at a time :)

[BackupPC-users] Network error on smb backup

Hi,

I've got a laptop (mine :)) which has been backed up successfully via 
smb for a while now. All of a sudden, it's losing the network 
connection, along with the following errors.

I've seen cases where WinXX disk corruption can cause smbclient to fail.

Have you tried running the WinXX chkdsk utility?  (eg, in WinXP, C: drive
right click -> properties -> Tools tab -> Check Now...)

There don't appear to be any file system issues.

This is my laptop which is backed up when plugged into its docking

[BackupPC-users] Backups failing on my laptop

[Alex Schaft]

Hi all,

I posted about this a while back, about my laptop not being backed up 
due to a "lost network connection during backup" error.

I've tried recreating the shares, swapping cables, sitting at different 
desks, but I'm still at a loss as to why this is happening.

Below is an excerpt from the errors for the lasst one tried

Where else can I check for what is going wrong?

[BackupPC-users] Backups failing

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

On my personal laptop, I haven't been able to do backups for a while.
Below is an extract of the error log.

Other backups work fine, and I've repeatedly deleted and recreated the
shares on this laptop, to no avail.

Is there something else that can be done, short of nuking the laptop and
reloading it from scratch?

I am physically at the laptop when this happens. I start a backup
manually, while the laptop is on ac power.

[BackupPC-users] Permission query

Hi,

I've got a folder /home with permission 0755. When this gets backed up
via tar it becomes 0750. Any reason for this?

I'm just investigating a difference in TarClientCmd that I'm not sure if
that could cause it

Default:
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host env LC_ALL=C
$tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals';

Overridden:
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host $tarPath -c -v -f
- -C $shareName+ --totals';

[BackupPC-users] smb xfr exclude files case sensitive

[Alex Schaft]

  Hi,

I've got *.mp3 configured on my one share to not backup mp3 files, but 
it seems to be case sensitive, as *.MP3 or *.Mp3 still get backed up. Is 
there a way around this?

[BackupPC-users] Backup speed?

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

I've just installed BackupPC to replace a simple script that tarred two 
folders to a remote machine. The script took about 3 hours for 40gigs of 
data. BackupPC has now been running for almost 7 hours (1AM to 7AM), and 
hasn't finished yet.


Compression level is set to 3. Is there something else that could be 
affecting it?

ssh encryption?  The faster but less secure alternatives are rsh or 
rsyncd.


No. Plain smb for now. I couldn't get ssh to work properly (kept asking 
for a password)

Just FYI, the backup finished after 405.4 minutes, backing up 58157MB at 
a speed of 2.39 MB/sec

Was the tar over samba as well or did you use NFS?  I'd probably also
go back to basics and check netstat to look at packet fragmentation and
collisions etc.  Also, your tar script probably compressed data on the
sending side so sent less data across the wire, but BackupPC may send
the data uncompressed then compress on the receiving side, but I'm not
sure.
  

It was over samba, and compressed prior to sending.

Basically it was this: 
tar zcv /sys | split -b2000m - "/root/backupd/`date +%A`/`date 


Which finished in three and a bit hours, so was a bit surprised to see
that BackupPC took that long

[BackupPC-users] Laptop users

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

I've got a couple of laptop users that sometimes stay at the office the 
whole day. This causes BackupPC to only schedule them after hours, when 
they're obviously not around anymore


Will there after hours status be cancelled once they go home? I'd like 
the incremental backup to be kicked in during the next working day.

I'm trying to stop backuppc from backing up mp3 files. I've tried

I think I know what happened. I had same hassles setting up a particular 
laptop user. I manually started the backup about 5 times, and everytime 
you do, backuppc pings the host. That's why the ping count got so high.

SMB to windows clients.

I checked the archives, and found the below from 2002, but it didn't
work properly (All of the sudden it was failing to backup folders with

[BackupPC-users] Best options for an archive hard drive

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

I'm currently using a hard drive for archive storage. I've got it 
currently formatted as ext3, and switched write caching on. Main drives 
sitting on primary ide, and archive drive on secondary ide


It is currently taking about 2hrs 20 min to dump around 40 gig of data. 
What can I change to improve this, or is this as good as it gets?

[BackupPC-users] Strange SMB problem

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

I've got a strange problem. If I use smbclient to connect to a XP pro 
laptop, which is formatted fat32, I can't browse the data. If I mount it 
via smbfs, all is fine.


I had this on another laptop which I converted to NTFS, after which all 
was ok.


What can cause the fat32 problem, and can I fix without converting to NTFS?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Error when trying to archive a host

[Alex Schaft]

Nicolai Rasmussen wrote:

I get this error when trying, via the cgi interface, to run an archive on one 
of my hosts:

Error: Can't open/create ${EscHTML("$TopDir/pc/$hostDest/$reqFileName")}

The config file for the "archive" host looks like this:

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'archive';
$Conf{XferLogLevel} = 1;
$Conf{ArchiveDest} = '/tmp';

The permissions for the /tmp folder is: 
drwxrwxrwt   2 root root   4096 2005-11-18 16:28 tmp


I get the same error when trying to archive the localhost (and I only have one 
client, and a local host configured...)

Btw, my config.pl files are located in /etc/backuppc/client.pl - not 
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/client
- The backup seems though to be working from the client.pl files in 
/etc/backuppc, so I dont see a point in moving them...
Should I move them?

  



I've also been wondering, why backuppc doesnt create an "archive" folder under 
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/?
- And since this is not the case, I'm not able to move the archive.pl file to 
this directory, as the documentation for backuppc states I should do...
(Running version 2.1.1-3, just for the record).

  
I usually create the client folders themselves, after I add them to the 
hosts file, and copy/create the config file in there. I then do a chown 
-R backuppc:backuppc newhost


HTH,
Alex

[BackupPC-users] Best way to format an archive drive

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

I'm taking an offsite backup by plugging in an IDE drive, mounting it, 
and running the archive to it. Currently it's formatted as ext3, but I'm 
wondering if I really need the journal on there, and if I should just 
use ext2?


Or is there a better option for dumping 40 odd gig in the least amount 
of time?


Alex

[BackupPC-users] Start backup with no ping response

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

Is it possible to configure a host so that backuppc starts the backup, 
without trying to ping the host first?

[BackupPC-users] Backing up mysql/postgresql

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

What is the best way to back these up? I was thinking *dump, but how do 
you know where the dump stops? Could I stop the service, back up the 
data folders, and start it up again?

[BackupPC-users] Using mod_auth_pam

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

I've successfully configured mod_auth_pam, and can now log on using 
domain user name and password. I have also put user names in the host 
file as domain\user. The only problem I still have is that when I set 
$Conf{CgiAdminUsers} to domain\user, the admin interface does not come up.

What other format can I try?

You need to confirm how apache passes such a user name
via the REMOTE_USER environment variable.  Use the
printenv script included in apache's cgi-bin to see.
  

I'll try to find this. Don't have it on my machine

Second, do you use single or double-quotes in defining $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}?
With an embedded backslash you will need to use single quotes.

  

Single quotes. Neither double or single backslash work.

$Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = 'QUICKTRAV\\admin';

Turns out I needed double quotes :)

I know this, but it shouldn't abort the backup.

Cool. So are you saying that 3.0.0 has no known critical bugs, and
that 3.1.0 would have minor bug fixes/improvements and some new
features.  If so, then I should be confident in upgrading from 2.1.1
to 3.0.0 and not have any problems, right?

Has anyone had problems upgrading from 2.1.1 to 3.0.0 ??? BTW, I'm
running a Debian server.



Upgrade worked fine with debian package from unstable on debian etch for 
me. Just don't forget to upgrade File::RsyncP ;-)

So far only improvements, no bugs.

  
I'm running 2.1.2pl2 on Centos 4. Can I just stop the service, run 
configure.pl, and start the service again?

[BackupPC-users] 3.0.0 Admin user problem

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

I've just upgraded to 3.0.0. from 2.1.2pl2, and have run into an issue 
with the admin user. I just did perl configure.pl --config-path 
/backups/conf/config.pl

I've got my apache server authenticating users against a domain, meaning 
that my admin user name is domain\admin.

I configured this previously by setting $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = 
"domain\admin"; but this does not seem to take effect now.

Any ideas?

Turns out it now has to be "quicktrav\\admin"

[BackupPC-users] Archive problem

[Alex Schaft]

Hi all,

I've just upgraded to version 3, and all of a sudden my archive went 
from 7 hours to under 1 hour.

I noticed that the biggest host didn't backup it's full data. Below an 
extract from the hosts backup history

The archived source is only 75 Meg, and should be a lot bigger.

What could be causing this?

Not sure either. Will see if I can recreate.

I've restarted the archive. Will advise once done, but I think it'll 
work after adding the IncrLevels and editing the backups file

was trying to fix admin user problem

[BackupPC-users] tar exclude question

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

I have a BackupFilesExclude specified as 
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/tf/files/*, with TarShareName as 
/home/e-smith/files, but files in tf/files aren't being excluded.

What is the correct form to use?

Alex

As long as their login name is on the old as well as the new host, they 
should be fine.
