Re: [BackupPC-users] Failing hard at Rsync
Try it using the backup server user. Put your private key in your backuppc user's .ssh directory and then as root on your backup server run: su - backuppc and now that you are the backuppc user, try: ssh root@clientHostName whoami and see if that works. Once this works, you should be all set.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc errors
I would still check out your keys. On your backuppc server, su to your backuppc user and run: ssh root@one-of-your-servers-to-be-backed-up whoami and you should not get anything returned but root. You might get prompted to re-accept the SSH key - accept it and run again and you should get just root again. Or, if you get a different error, fix that and you should be set.

Have you tried escaping the braces? For example:

Re: [BackupPC-users] Redundant calls to DumpPostUserCmd
Why might I be getting multiple calls to DumpPostUserCmd, and how can
I prevent that?
I can't see how DumpPostUserCmd can get run twice, since only
a single BackupPC_dump can be run per client. That said, it
could be caused by $Conf{ClientTimeout} aborting the first run
during the archive phase. I'd try increasing $Conf{ClientTimeout}
by a significant factor.
Craig
Great -- that makes sense! I changed the default 7200 to 72000 and
will see how it goes. 20 hours should be long enough, I figure...
Thanks again,

I needed to include the "if (! -e "$archpath")" block in the
script since I found that if the backup and archive writing go on
for more than a couple hours, DumpPostUserCmd gets called again
for some reason, and the script would start writing to the same
directory and screw up the archive. With the if block, though, I
at least get a complete archive written.
Still, however, an issue remains since that second invocation of
DumpPostUserCmd exits with a non-zero even though the actual
backup was successful, and so the entire backup is rendered
"partial". That client then gets hit for another full at the next
window (and the cycle repeats).
My questions then are:
Why might I be getting multiple calls to DumpPostUserCmd, and how

$xferOK $client';
The script looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $type = "$ARGV[0]";
my $xferOK = "$ARGV[1]";
my $client = "$ARGV[2]";
my $archpath = "/archives/BUPC_ArchiveInProg/$client/";
my $stagepath = "/archives/ArchiveStage/";
if ($type eq "full") {
if ($xferOK eq 1) {
if (! -e "$archpath") {
`mkdir $archpath`;
`/usr/local/backup/bin/BackupPC_archiveHost /usr/local/
backup/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate /usr/bin/split /usr/local/bin/par2
$client -1 /usr/bin/gzip .gz 214700 $archpath 0 "*"`;
my $timestmp = `date +%g%m%d%H%M%S`;
`mv $archpath $stagepath$client$timestmp` ;
}
}
}
I needed to include the "if (! -e "$archpath")" block in the script
since I found that if the backup and archive writing go on for more
than a couple hours, DumpPostUserCmd gets called again for some
reason, and the script would start writing to the same directory and
screw up the archive. With the if block, though, I at least get a
complete archive written.
Still, however, an issue remains since that second invocation of
DumpPostUserCmd exits with a non-zero even though the actual backup
was successful, and so the entire backup is rendered "partial". That
client then gets hit for another full at the next window (and the
cycle repeats).
My questions then are:
Why might I be getting multiple calls to DumpPostUserCmd, and how can
I prevent that?
Is there a way to manually change the status of a partial backup to a
valid full so I can at least stop the cycle of repeated full attempts?
Am I just going about this wrong?
Thanks!
