Re: [BackupPC-users] Debugging excludes and....
Hi Bob, can you try this: **/FM_and_Computer_Backup (note the two asterisks) On Mon, 29 May 2017 14:46:27 +0200, Bob Katz <bobk...@digido.com> wrote: Thanks to everyone for the help so far! Don't want to clog the list with too many thank you notes! I'm just getting my first backup of one computer sorted out. Method is rsyncd. 1. One of the excludes is not working. Its contents are showing up in the backup. It's being done with an override for this host: Include/ExcludeBackupFilesOnly OverrideNew ShareName or '*': BackupFilesExclude Override/raid/FM_and_Computer_Backups (Yes, I'm backing up a raid, but this is an essential machine and it needs its own backup) However, 'browse backups' is showing all the content of the excluded directory FM_and_Computer_Backups. Here's an excerpt of 'browse backups': FM_and_Computer_Backups .AppleDB .AppleDesktop .AppleDouble .Temporary Items Computer_Disk_Images and so on, all the way through every file that should have been excluded. Any ideas? 2) xfer log shows that backuppc is "wasting time" listing each file in a very large directory that is being excluded. Is that avoidable? I'm pretty sure this directory is really excluded because there is nothing showing in its contents in browse backups. But I also fear that the system froze as the xfer log stopped about 2/3 of the way through displaying this directory, which should have been excluded anyway. I have seen rsync list excludes in a verbose list, so this behavior may be an artifact of rsync. 3) Is it acceptable to use the shortcut %20 for a space in a file name in an exclude? For example: /raid/Thecus%20Audio For the directory 'Thecus Audio". I wonder if this is why the xfer log is showing the system going through this directory, yet it is supposed to be excluded? 3) Can I Override the blackout period for testing? I want to manually continue this backup and watch its progress. In the CGI, will one of these buttons "continue" the full backup which is active into the blackout period? Is that possible?: "Start Incr Backup" "Start Full Backup" 4) Browse Backups. I can't always get it to shrink a list. The '-" button on some directories is not working.

Re: [BackupPC-users] running the BackupPC_backupDelete command
Hi Bob, that is a security feature in Linux. The current directory is not included into the search path. The ./ bypasses this.

Hi, Is this backuppc V3.x? There used to be an issue with smb (smb has changed behavior). For V4 it work for sure (i use it). For V3.x I saw some update, so the latest released version should work.

Hi Bartosz, looks similar to what I see on my system. In my case the file exist in cpool, but it is searched in pool. Current assumption is that some corrupted files do cause this. -- Many regards, Dieter Fauth :-) -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
Re: [BackupPC-users] How does BackupPC 4.1.1 calculate Pools size?
Hi Ray, I have similar files in cpool. ~60GB in 6 files. I suspected they were created in my experiments with archive host. At least the file date would fit. But that was a wild guess. Anybody else seeing such files?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Nightly does not find some pool files, but they exist
Hi Holger, The directories for the pools do not use the last bit (128 instead of 256 values). It is documented somewhere. So there is top level 10 and 12, but no 11. Same with next level. D9 and D8 go into D8 since there is no D9 directory. > I believe a file '11d9...' should be in 11/d9/, not in 10/d8/ > (off-by-one in > both path components). I would be interested in knowing why this design decision has been made. (in case the devs reads this - not to complain, but to learn) Leaves me back on my original issue. For me it smells like a bug. Unfortunately perl is none of my languages. If I am the only one seeing this, it could be my hard drive as well, the migration caused quite some stress to it. A fresh one is already waiting...

[BackupPC-users] exclude dirs with smb do not work
Hi, with backupPC 3 I cannot get the exclude to work properly. I think there is a problem with spaces in dirnames (My Documents). They should be passed to smbclient as \ , but they are are not. Perhaps it is a version problem of smbclient as well. I use the sernet packet for debian (3.0.25b). On the command line this works: smbclient //hostname/share password -Uuser -E -N -d 3 -c tarmode\ full -TcrX - \\Documents\ and\ Settings\\*\\Local\ Settings\\Temporary\ Internet\ Files test1.tar Note: The backslashes are required, forward slashes will not do it. But from backuppc it does not work (I had '\\temp' as a test in the hostname.pl , but was not ignored). I tried to get the resulting command line, saw the missing \ for the spaces, the rest looked not bad, but smbclient seams not to like it at all. Simple file ignores are working (*.obj). Does somebody have experiences here? -- Many regards, Dieter :-) - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.
