[BackupPC-users] Does backuppc_nightly run to early?
Hi, I recently added a new share to my backup host. This share does initially take about 24 hours to be backed up due to a bad network connection. The files on this share do not (or nearly to not) change, so I expected all further backups to be done somewhat more quick. In fact, all following backups take about 24 hours. The new share never occurs in the cgi interface. Could it be, that backuppc_nightly purges the transferred files _before_ they are hardlinked into the pc directory? Following snippet comes from backuppc's log: 1) 2007-03-10 19:00:00 Started incr backup on kanzlei.fpvm.vonmusil.com (pid=28476, share=/home/samba/Kanzlei/) 2) 2007-03-10 19:00:30 Started incr backup on kanzlei.fpvm.vonmusil.com (pid=28476, share=/home/users/) [... long time ...] 3) 2007-03-11 18:17:50 Finished incr backup on host1.domain.net 4) 2007-03-11 18:17:50 Running 2 BackupPC_nightly jobs from 0..15 (out of 0..15) 5) 2007-03-11 18:17:50 Running BackupPC_link host1.domain.net (pid=27328) 6) 2007-03-11 18:17:50 Running BackupPC_nightly -m 0 127 (pid=27329) 7) 2007-03-11 18:17:50 Running BackupPC_nightly 128 255 (pid=27330) 8) 2007-03-11 18:17:52 BackupPC_nightly now running BackupPC_sendEmail 9) 2007-03-11 18:17:52 Finished admin1 (BackupPC_nightly 128 255) This is done ith backuppc 2.1 from the debian repository. Except of this, Backuppc runs like a charm!

Re: [BackupPC-users] How to disable full backups ?
Hi Komodo,
I am kinda new to backuppc, but I think this is the point. If setting
fullperoid to 7000, next schedule schould be in about 20 years.
Presumed, backuppc accepts 7000 as not to high.
BUT - and I know, this is _not_ what you asked, excuse me for mention it
- are you sure, you really want no full backups? If it is, that you have
a huge amount of data with a slow network connection, you still can do
full backups. Using rsync, backuppc does not all the files over the
network. This was discussed and explained earlier (somewhere between Jan
16 and 20). If you want, I can search and forward the corresponding
mails to you.
I have a host whose initial backup took about 60 hours. It is a small
but productive file server. Incrementals every day take less than 10
minutes, the fulls every seven days take less than 20 minutes.
Greets,
Clemens

Thanks, maybe i'm blind, but i don't see where is this written, there is only
incrperiod and full period, but i don't want any full backups at all,except
the first one ,so how should i configure this ? Should i set fullperiod to
extremely high number ? I am using rsync so i think the age fo files is
irrelevant, beacuse if i am right, then when i am using rsync, old files are
deleted automaticaly.

I want one full backup, and then only incremental.
Hmmm, check config.pl. :)
Fire up your favorite text editor and search for $Conf{IncrPeriod}. The
comments above and below it, for quite some distance, describe at length
how to configure exactly what you're wanting to configure. Someone else
here can probably give a quicker answer than I can otherwise, but this
points you in the right direction at least.

Thanks

[BackupPC-users] Question about file size/reuse summary
Hi all, first, I wanna thank you for a great backup tool and very, very helpfull list! Second - there still are some mysterials for me. ;-) I don't understand the summaries on my host status pages. Below, I copied a file site/count reuse summarym taken from a host I backup with rsync/ssh. I cannot fugure out, what the existing files/new files should be. And I don't see, how this columns correspond with the totals column. On full backup, the total files count should be the total number of files, the host ofers? But why is the new file count in the first row higher than the total file count? Is it something with directories counted in New Files but not in totals? I think my main problem in understanding the table is that I don't know, what existing and new files are in terms of backuppc with rsync. Does someone can give me some hints about what the numbers do mean? Thanks a lot, Clemens Totals Existing Files New Files Backup# Type#Files Size/MB MB/sec #Files Size/MB #Files Size/MB 0 http://server.vonmusil.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=browsehost=cause.fpvm.vonmusil.comnum=0 full82021431.9 0.01377 5.6 98911426.7 1 http://server.vonmusil.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=browsehost=cause.fpvm.vonmusil.comnum=1 incr43 3.1 0.0218 1.8 609 1.3 2 http://server.vonmusil.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=browsehost=cause.fpvm.vonmusil.comnum=2 incr57 3.6 0.0244 2.9 48 0.8 3 http://server.vonmusil.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=browsehost=cause.fpvm.vonmusil.comnum=3 incr58 3.8 0.0256 3.6 7 0.2 4 http://server.vonmusil.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=browsehost=cause.fpvm.vonmusil.comnum=4 incr58 3.7 0.0257 3.6 3 0.1 5 http://server.vonmusil.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=browsehost=cause.fpvm.vonmusil.comnum=5 incr82 5.3 0.0150 2.5 96 2.9 6 http://server.vonmusil.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=browsehost=cause.fpvm.vonmusil.comnum=6 full82321434.2 1.9682131433.3 118 0.9 7 http://server.vonmusil.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=browsehost=cause.fpvm.vonmusil.comnum=7 incr32 1.9 0.0112 0.8 80 1.2 8 http://server.vonmusil.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=browsehost=cause.fpvm.vonmusil.comnum=8 incr46 3.8 0.0130 1.9 49 1.9 -- Clemens von Musil [EMAIL PROTECTED] Je weniger die Leute davon wissen, wie Würste und Gesetze gemacht werden, desto besser schlafen sie.

[BackupPC-users] Avoiding long backup times
Hi all, while playing with backuppc, I got some new questions... New at least for me ;-) One configured backup host has a very slow network connection - a full backup lasts about two days. Because of the exclusive run of backuppc_nightly in 2.xx, I learned, this full backup stalls all other backups. I want to avoid tihs situation and got stuck in following: What exactly happens during full backup? I read, that backuppc stores every identical file only one time. Whereever needed, this file is linked to. What happens with an unchanged file in a full backup? Since it is allready in the spool - will BackupPC transfer it again? If the file will not be transferred again - what is the difference between full and incremenal? And if yes - does it make sense to keep one full for ever and dealing only with following incrementals?

[BackupPC-users] Migrating to V3
Hi all, if version 3 will turn from beta to stable - will it be possible to migrate an existing system, with filespool etc., towards the newer version? Is it already now possible to outline what I need to do the migration?

[BackupPC-users] Pending Jobs and Conf{MaxBackups}
Hi all,
got another one, I don't understand. I configured 4 hosts, of which 1
has a very poor network connection. I expect the first full backup to
need about two days. Now, this full is running for about 15 hours and
the cgi-interface status page shows me:
* 2 pending backup requests from last scheduled wakeup,
* 1 pending user backup requests,
from the other hosts.
My main config.pl contains:
$Conf{MaxBackups}
http://server.vonmusil.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=viewtype=docs#item_%24conf%7bmaxbackups%7d
= 4;
$Conf{MaxUserBackups}
http://server.vonmusil.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=viewtype=docs#item_%24conf%7bmaxuserbackups%7d
= 4;
Since the one running job plus all three waiting jobs don't exceed the
$Conf{MaxBackups}, why doesn't backuppc run all jobs in parallel?
Thanks for any hint,
Clemens

[BackupPC-users] What happens, if client rsync process crashes?
Hi all, I am very new to backupPC - and I like it more more and more every day. ;-) I made a direcory with four 1MB files and some smaller text files for test purposes. Today, I tried some error cases and killed the rsync process on my client machine while syncing with xfermethod=rsync. After killing the process, the cgi interface showed this backup run as OK, but most of my test files were not backed up. The files transfered until my interrupt seem to be in the archive, all other files lack. Is this the expected behaviour? If yes: How can I distinguish between an correctly backed up archive and an archive, that is half backed up due to a process crash on the client machine? Thanks a lot, Clemente Btw: I use backuppc as packaged by debian maintainers (sarge).
