Re: [BackupPC-users] Real Time View of What Is Being Copied

2022-03-03 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi, 

Yes you could create several rsyncsharename sections for the different folders. 
Or you could explicit exclude some folders from 1 share and create a seperate 
share to create a backup. You can even create multiple 'hosts' with each it's 
own share to backup different shares. In that case you could use the 
ClientNameAlias to point them to the same server.

[BackupPC-users] Difference between BackupPC 4.4.0 data usage and disk space.

2021-06-11 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi, 

I lost half my disk capacity? Or is there something else? 

I'm running BackupPC 4.4.0 now with around 100 clients to be backupped via 
rsync. At the moment only pool v4 is active. 

Status page says for several months, this kind of figures: 
Pool is 4152.10GiB comprising 20752385 files and 12384 directories (as of 
2021-06-11 03:09), 

But disk is: 
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on 
/dev/mapper/loods4--vg-home 9.7T 9.4T 352G 97% /var/lib/backuppc 


And: 
--- /var/lib/backuppc 

 
9.1TiB [##] /cpool 

I did a ncdu scan and the storage seems to be distributed over the folders in 
cpool and not 1 folder is an obvious problem. 

I really would like to recover the 4TB of lost space (or be sure the correct 
usage is 9.4T then I know to add disks.

[BackupPC-users] Incremental backups succeed, full backups fail.

2018-05-17 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi, 

I'm using BackupPC for several years now (upgraded to 4.1.5, but the problem 
existed before), but lately full backups of 2 servers started to fail. We are 
using rsync over ssh for all backups. Mainly Linux servers and some Windows 
server where we installed Cygwin sshd and rsync to facilitate the backup. We 
run little scripts to create a disk shadow before we start the backup and clear 
it when the backup is finished. I've moved one of the client servers to another 
BackupPC server and the backup runs without any problems on that server. I can 
use the second failing server to try to debug why the backup fails. 

So far I've upgraded the server from 3.xxx to 4.1.5, but that didn't change 
anything. 
Incremental backups always succeed. 
I've created a new 'server' in backuppc to have a clean starting point, but 
that full backup also never succeeded. 
I've changed the XferLogLevel to 7 to see if it shows anything, but the only 
error I can find is: 
rsync_bpc: connection unexpectedly closed (5560630 bytes received so far) 
[receiver] 
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(629) 
[receiver=3.0.9.12] 
rsync_bpc: connection unexpectedly closed (342 bytes received so far) 
[generator] 

How can I debug this further to find the real problem? 

Any help is appreciated.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Data integrity checks

2017-01-02 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi, 

as far as I understood it is the full backup that compares the files on the 
backuppc server and the client machine. Checksums will be calculated on both 
sides and compared.

Re: [BackupPC-users] access backups created by different server

2016-09-08 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi,

the configuration is in /etc/backuppc there is a hosts file which defines the 
active hosts. It could be enough to add the host you wish to restore to this 
file.

Re: [BackupPC-users] samba backup operation

2015-12-24 Thread Micha Kersloot
Ah my mistake, 

although I do not use the smb backup solution, I found that the incremental 
smbclient command uses a -TcN $timeStampFile which should only backup the files 
newer than the $timeStampFile. It looks like it is really an incremental backup 
to me.

Hi, 

The difference is the usage of the -ignore-times function of rsync which is

Re: [BackupPC-users] R: Re: FullKeepCnt

2015-12-07 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi, 

Is BackPC deleting backups? As in do you have constantly 2 full backups and 1 
incr.? And if you view a incr. backup it says in the top which backup sessions 
it is using to create the view, maybe that will give some clues. And what about 
that Partial backup? Do you know the reason for that one?

Re: [BackupPC-users] FullKeepCnt

2015-12-02 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi, 

I guess that if the incremental depends on one full and the new full backup is 
made you'll end up with two full backups and 1 incremental depending on the 
oldest full backup. But! BackupPC is very good at deduplicating data on disk, 
so full backups and incremental backups do not differ in the amount of space 
that is used on disk. The main difference between a full and an incremental 
backup is that a full backup will compare all data on the client with the data 
on the backup server and incremental wil only look for changes on the client. 
We've found it is probably only necessary to limit the number of backups when 
you are dealing with large (binary) blobs that change every day. For example 
database dumps.

This is more or less the way we move machines to another backup server. If a 
server is getting somewhat full, we buy a new server, backup some of the client 
servers to this new backup server and after a while remove the backups from the 
old server. So that is already possible with the current version of BackupPC. 
The only thing that seems to be solved in your proposal is that the management 
can be done from one server instead of managing multiple servers. I think that 
is not the biggest problem. Our problem is that we lose the history when moving 
a client backup to another backup server. The only thing we could come up with 
to solve this a little bit is to implement a new server long before the old one 
is really full and then let the backup run on this new server for a longer time 
to create a new history before deleting it from the old server. If it can help 
anyone, here is our procedure.

1. If backup server is > 70% full, request new server.
2. Backup some of the clients on new server, hold backup on the old server.
3. Let the backup on the new server run for > 3 months
4. Delete backup from old server and hope there are no restore request for data 
older than 3 months.

It's a bit of a hassle, but BackupPC is totally worth it!

Greetings,

Micha Kersloot

Re: [BackupPC-users] Usage of BackupPC in large environment

2015-02-27 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi,

Using it here for the same amount of servers, both in the datacenter and 
remote. Because of the high load on the storage devices in the machine, we've 
choosen to split the backups over multiple smaller backuppc servers.

We still experience a load > 10 during backup season, but as the server is not 
used for interactive session, we just accept that.

Micha Kersloot

Re: [BackupPC-users] Child exited prematurely

2014-10-03 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi,

I guess you are using the rsync over ssh option to make backups?
 
it's quite hard to debug this, but 9 out of 10 times its the ssh / rsync 
connection that is failing. Login on the backuppc server, become the backuppc 
user and try to make an connection manualy via f.e. ssh

[BackupPC-users] Mail missed backup only after 30 days

2014-05-12 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi, 

we're using backuppc for several Linux machines. If a server is unavailable we 
get a message that the backup failed which is perfect. But for one server we 
got the message only when the backup failed for 30 days so we where not aware 
of the problem, but after 30 days. I've tried to find any info on how this can 
happened, but so far I've found almost no info on how to debug this problem or 
on which mail is sent when. Another server which is unavailable regularly does 
trigger the mails and all other messages seem to be sent. 

Anybody knows where to start debugging this problem?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Running backuppc on a raspberry pi - possible ?

2012-07-23 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi,

I'm not sure if there is a port, but you can run out of memory, depending on 
which protocol you want to use. I'm running BackupPC on a 1GB EEE PC and the 
OOM killer kicks in now and then.

Re: [BackupPC-users] RE : Rsync mkdir restore errors

2012-02-27 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi,

In that case, you need 'sudo ' to run the command with the 
administrator rights. Because everything is done by rsync, then when you trust 
your backuppc server, it maybe easier to connect as root and not as backup user.

You seem to be right. It looks like there is a firewall which blocks traffic 
when you try to setup to many connections in a short period of time. So, the 
two pings with nc on port 22 , ssh connection, then again two pings in such a 
short time-frame triggered this rule.

The sad thing is, that in de meanwhile I deleted the authorized_hosts file and 
forgot to rebuild it for all known hosts, so now I have to wait another day to 
see if I really fixed the problem, but I have a good feeling about it.

Thank you all for your help and support!!

I can only find the XferLOG.bad.z file. I can't find a XferLog.x.z file with 
the correct timestamp, is there any other logfile I could look for?

Another strange thing is that on the host that needs to be backupped there is 
only 1 login in that timeframe:

Feb 23 05:00:02 covidestable03 sshd[31018]: Did not receive identification 
string from 62.58.198.2
Feb 23 05:00:02 covidestable03 sshd[31019]: Did not receive identification 
string from 62.58.198.2
Feb 23 05:00:02 covidestable03 sshd[31020]: Accepted publickey for root from 
62.58.198.2 port 48515 ssh2
Feb 23 05:00:02 covidestable03 sshd[31020]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session 
opened for user root by (uid=0)

Feb 23 05:03:21 covidestable03 sshd[31078]: Did not receive identification

Feb 23 05:03:21 covidestable03 sshd[31079]: Did not receive identification 
string from 62.58.198.2

So there seems to be a ping, but no login after that...

Hi Michel, 

Thank you for your time. Yes I can login. And, the strange thing is, when I 
click the 'Start Backup' button in the webinterface the backup runs without any 
problems.

[BackupPC-users] The famous Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes) error

2012-02-21 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi,

I've got the Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes) error for some weeks now. 
It was working allright for a year or two, but lately those errors come up 
every night. The problem is that if I start a backup manualy via the CLI 
commands, or by the webinterface it all works like a charm. So 'only' the 
automatic started backups seem to suffer from this problem. Is there any way to 
debug this in BackupPC?

Met vriendelijke groet,

Micha Kersloot

Re: [BackupPC-users] Preferred network for backup

Not really a backup question, but I can think of two solutions,
depending on the OS on the laptops and the server.
1. If the OS on the laptop is Linux, you can script DCHP-client so it
sends a hostname depending on several variables, for example the network
card.
2. You can setup the DHCP server to fix ip numbers to mac addresses. In
that case you are always certain about the connection type in use.

[BackupPC-users] PreUserCmd not working?

2007-10-29 Thread Micha Kersloot
Hi list,

I've got a problem with the PreUserCmd command on a archive host. 
OS: Fedora Core 6
BackPC version: 3.0.0

The configuration was done with the webinterface:
dat36gb.pl
$Conf{ArchiveDest} = '/backup3/BackupPC/archive';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'archive';
$Conf{ArchivePostUserCmd} = 'touch ~backuppc/ditwaseentest.txt';
$Conf{ArchivePreUserCmd} = 'touch ~backuppc/ditiseentest.txt';

The thing is that both commands never ran and at the moment i've got no
clue where to start looking. The archives itself are created every night
without any problems. Someone an idea?
