[BackupPC-users] backup failed (received signal=ALRM)

2020-11-17 Thread Marcus Hardt
Hi There,

I've seen this error on some hosts for quite a while now, and ignored it.

Recently I took the time to look a bit deeper.

Started the backup from the commandline like:

/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -i nemo > logfile 2>&1

I was rather surprised seeing a 4.8GB logfile just a few hours later.

That logfile started normally, but at some point contained the raw file
content.  Here is the "edge" of it turning bad (depending on the run,
somewhere at line 23000 or 64000):


  create d 755 1000/10004096

suppose this is somehting with rsync.

The trouble I had restoring files happened on both OSes: Windows and Linux 
(via GRML Live-CD). My understanding is that Linux respects the NTFS 
permissions and didn't overwrite the files. 

I cannot test this, as the Notebook is in use.

However, I'll try the given link and a reinstall otherwise.

Thanks for all the help, btw!

Right. There might be files already the image restoration done in an earlier 
step.


Would s.th. like this work:

1: Restore an half year old image, using dd (for partition table and MBR's 
sake)
2; Mount it 
3: "rm -rf" it
4: Copy the backup

Or would this kill the windows installation at some point?

No, sorry, I've not tried zip yet.

I'll first try to understand why things work on one but not the other system.


I've by found a windows XP host who friendly accepts the restores sent to him 
-- including the "problem files".

My guess is that the Vista Machine has strange permissions set for some 
files.

Does Backuppc restore the permissions, as well? (I.e. could there be a 
situation in which a directory is created, made read-only, and then files are 
written into it?)


I'll check the file system of the XP host.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Restore takes way too long and the fails

2010-09-23 Thread Marcus Hardt
Hi,

I unpacked the tar on the backup server itself, which is also the host on 
which I used firefox to download the tarfile.

The only tar I found is version 1.23 (corresponding to the debian/testing tar 
package 1.23-2.1)


However, my primary problem is not tar. The primary problem is that I have  
reproducable crashes in Backuppc, when trying to restore some files of the 
backup, while other files can be restored without problem.

I was failing restoration to 
o Windows Vista + ntfs + smb
o Windows Vista + ntfs + rsyncd / Cygwin
o Linux (GRML) + ntfs + rsync via ssh + (mounting nfts in rw-mode via 
ntfs-3g)

What does work is:
o downloading the "problem file" via tar
o restoring to localhost (Linux (Debian)  + rsync via ssh)

I was close to blaming NFTS, but since I can untar the file to NTFS via the 
GRML boot, I'm not sure this is right.

fails

But:
using the 'i' option for 
 -i, --ignore-zeros
   ignore zeroed blocks in archive (means EOF)

makes tar wander through the archive even thought it might have detected EOF 
markers (i.e. "two consecutive zero-filled records" according to the 
wikipedia page of the tar format)

I observed several warnings in my cmdline:

tar tfi restore.tar |wc -l

tar: Skipping to next header

I can only hope this works and helps others.

Well, yes and no. 

I've downloaded the tarball. It's 129Gig of size.

Now tar is letting me down, it's not processing the whole file, just the 
start of it. Let me guess: 2GB?

[BackupPC-users] Restore takes way too long and the fails

2010-09-13 Thread Marcus Hardt
Hi,

I need to restore a backup

This works for some folders and files but not for all

Trying various combinations I found one file which reproducably shows this 
error, while others reproducably don't. The errornous file is 56 MB, and 
direct download via the webinterface works.

Backups also fail when this file is included in a group of other files.
The file "assets.zip" is just an example, there are more files causing the 
error.


Config-Data:
Client:
 o Windows XP 64
 o rsync 3.0.7 (protocol v.30) using cygwin-1.7.7

Server: (debian/testing)
 o rsync 3.0.7-2
 o backuppc 3.1.0-9


Error Message:

Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/host/RestoreLOG.83.z, modified

Processes on the server are (all idle):

What can I do?
