[BackupPC-users] open firewall ports on (domain controlled) windows clients
Hi all, I have to backup some windows clients which are members of a domain that I can't control (don't ask ;-)), so no way to change the domain profile. Is there a way to open the ssh port at boot time via script without being "overruled" by the domain controller? Would something like: work in this case (and where to put it)? Of course I do have root privileges on all clients.

AFAIK File::RsyncP doesn't support the rsync option --prune-empty-dirs, so you have to include the whole tree, even when your filter rules leave the directories empty. Reading the section about filter rules of the rsync man page is highly recommended: ;-) > One solution is to ask for all directories in the hierarchy to be > included by using a single rule: "+ */" (put it somewhere before the > "- *" rule), and perhaps use the --prune-empty-dirs option.

[BackupPC-users] pool size zero but no linking errors
Hi, my pool size is displayed 0.00GB (see below), but everythings seems to work perfectly: I couldn't find any linking errors in the logs, permissions checked, and du -sh /home/RAID5/backuppc/cpool/ gives me 639G, so it's not exactly empty ;-) I'm running backuppc 3.1.0 on Debian etch/amd64, xfs on 1.5 TB LVM/RAID5 Does the GUI only display the uncompressed pool-size? I can't believe that I didn't see this before the related thread came up on the list ... shame on me!

[BackupPC-users] BackupsDisable issue
Hi all,
I recently disabled automatic backups of a single host via
$Conf{BackupsDisable} = 1;
Host summary says "auto disabled", but backuppc still tries to queue the
host whenever a wakeup is scheduled.
BTW, the host already had errors in the logs before I disabled it (it
crashed), nevertheless I need to keep the backups.
Any ideas (backuppc 3.1.0 on debian etch/amd64)?
Thanks in advance,
Bernhard

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupsDisable issue
Solved: I finally disabled the host in the hosts-file, reloaded server
config, enabled the host and reloaded again --> no more failure messages
Stop/Dequeue didn't work
I think there might/could/should be a more elegant way to temporarily
disable hosts that are causing trouble?
Kind regards,
Bernhard

Re: [BackupPC-users] Bear Metal Restore
Hi Jack, as Andreas said before bare metal restore is not the thing you can do best with backuppc, so many folks around here use backuppc for data and other products for imaging system-partitions. I use partimage for cloning windows hosts (careful: it doesn't work on amd64 platform, http://www.partimage.org/), if you want to restore a bunch of hosts you should have a look at http://www.clonezilla.org/.

[BackupPC-users] no cpool info shown on web interface
Hi, on one of my backuppc servers (3.1.0 on Debian etch/amd64, pool filesystem is xfs on 1.5 TB LVM/RAID5 [which performs ok for our setup ;-)]) everything works like charm, *BUT*: "General Server Information" gives me no Compressed pool info (see quote_01 below). Statistics in host summary are ok (see quote_02), logs show no errors at all, despite the fact that Cpool nightly shows the same strange behavior (please see quote_03). quote_01: > * Other info: > (...) > o Pool is 0.00GB comprising 0 files and 1 directories (...) > o Pool hashing gives 0 repeated files with longest chain 0, > o Nightly cleanup removed 0 files of size 0.00GB (...) > o Pool file system was recently at 54% (4/8 21:18), today's > max is 54% (4/8 01:00) and yesterday's max was 54%. quote_02: > There are 18 hosts that have been backed up, for a total of: > > * 144 full backups of total size 11927.99GB (prior to pooling and > compression), > * 97 incr backups of total size 170.72GB (prior to pooling and > compression). quote_03: > 2008-04-11 01:00:36 Pool nightly clean removed 0 files of size 0.00GB > 2008-04-11 01:00:36 Pool is 0.00GB, 0 files (0 repeated, 0 max chain, 0 max > links), 1 directories > 2008-04-11 01:00:36 Cpool nightly clean removed 0 files of size 0.00GB > 2008-04-11 01:00:36 Cpool is 0.00GB, 0 files (0 repeated, 0 max chain, 0 max > links), 4369 directories Once again, the backups are *fine*, restores *do work*, transfer logs ok but I really don't like the idea that BackupPC_nightly might not work the way it should. I checked the permissions, docs, archives and ... I'm stuck.

No linking errors (there are hardlinks, find /var/lib/backuppc/pc/ -links +500 -printf '%n %k %p\n' gives me lots of files). I hope it is correct that only the backuppc-directory must reside on the same file system? Hmm...maybe I moved the pool after the first test runs, I just can't remember (the path didn't change) ... but if there is something wrong with the pool, shouldn't there be massive linking problems? Sorry that I repeat that the Host Summary is correct. BTW, it's the only server I'm running on the amd64 platform... Can I run the BackupPC_nightly in debug mode?

Wow, I'm deeply impressed. I applied your patch the main problem seems
to be solved! I just found and opendir error in the logs:
> ERROR: opendir
> (/var/lib/backuppc/pc/susexeon-mit_alles/401/f%2fraid/fWORK/fFISCHER) failed
This occurred only during the first run, now everything seems to work
fine. Is it safe to leave the Lib.pm this way ;-)) ?
Thanks a lot for your help, it's great to know that there are
specialists out there,
Bernhard

Thanks for the tips, Koen,
I followed all these instructions (at least I think I did ;-)), but my
problems were not related to excludes, I simply got no connection to the
shares:
"@ERROR: chdir failed", so maybe a permission denied error due to ACL or
similar.
Unfortunately I had no time to investigate any further (the workstation
is down right now so I can't provide any logs).
Should I use "CYGWIN=ntsec tty" with DeltaCopy, too?
Whatever virtual directory I defined didn't show up when I connected
(rsync -av u...@host::), only the standard share "Backup" was displayed.
Are you running the 64bit version?

[BackupPC-users] par2 question
Hi, first of all: I'm simply loving backuppc, using it for 2 years now, works flawlessly! Sorry that this subject is not entirely backuppc-related: What are your recommended chunk-sizes for burning tar-files (archive host) to DVD-RW? I'm neither expert on optical disks nor on filesystems, but when I experienced problems reading files from CD/DVD s, the complete file was corrupted: am I totally wrong when I think that par2 recovery data only makes sense when the size of the chunks is smaller than the percentage of the recovery data from par, i.e. using the -r 5 option on a file of 100MB each chunk shouldn't be bigger than 5MB to recover as many errors as possible? I googled around quite a lot an searched the list but didn't find an answer (yet), TIA & regards, Bernhard --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
[BackupPC-users] rsyncp problem --prune-empty-dirs
Hi,
there seems to be a problem using the rsync --prune-empty-dirs
(-m) option with backuppc (see log-file/config).
The rsync command/options works with all clients invoked via shell (and,
of course, without the -m option), but not via rsyncp. Seems like rsync
"reads" all the directories and filters them afterwards, so it might be
a timeout-issue?
Or am I missing something?
Regards,
Bernhard

It's the only way (as far as I understood the rsync-man page) to include
a directory recursively. The downside is, that the whole tree is
included (containing only directories but no files) which makes it
difficult to find the backup files for recovery.
I tried the $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} first, but that didn't work.

I was afraid to hear that;-)

Debian says 0.64-1, backuppc is 2.1.2pl1

Syntax is from manpage and, as mentioned above, the only way to solve my
"problem" including a specific pattern (directory) wherever it shows up
in the tree.
rsync -avm [EMAIL PROTECTED]::share --include=*/ --include=MIT_ALLES/*
--exclude=* works as expected.
The main problem for me was to find out how backuppc and the different
transfer methods deal with $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}-values: I still have
to work on that next week ;-) Unfortunately I deleted the complete
pc-directory (including the log files), so I have to set up a new host.pl.
Kind regards,
Bernhard

I use $Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} for that purpose (to be sure that the dumps

My clients are doing finite element calculations with *huge* data output. Backup strategy is to save the input data. For top-priority projects we backup everything using a virtual host with different FullKeepCnt values including only a single specified subdirectory. So it's kind of a pain to have all the empty dirs transferred - but we can live with that. Or am I missing a much more elegant approach? Thanks a lot for your help! Bernhard - Take Surveys.
