[BackupPC-users] backuppc and excluding ip ranges?
I am wondering if it's possible already, or how difficult it might be to change the code for backuppc to allow it to skip a machine if it is not in a certain subnet mask. In my network, I have multiple sites. Some of the sites have slow T1 connections between them, so I have backuppc servers at them to back up directly on the LAN. This works great, but some of the machines (windows) are laptops, and people sometimes bring the laptop to another location. All these locations are tied together, so backuppc can still see (ping) the laptop even though it's in another building. The only real difference is that machine will pick up a dhcp address for that building. The address will be in a different subnet, for example, 192.168.2.x instead of 192.168.1.x. It would be great if a flag could be set to tell backuppc to only backup a machine if it is in a specific subnet range (192.168.2.x) and to skip it if not. Is this already possible, or where might a change be made in the code for something like that? -- RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1___ 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] NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME after virtualizing
No, the physical machine has been powered down. Also, the virtual machine works fine in all other ways - I can for example remote desktop to it using it's netbios name, connect to it's shares using it's netbios name, etc. On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 11:15 AM, Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 9:25 AM, SSzretter wrote: So I created a virtual machine from a physical machine that was being backed up by backuppc.

[BackupPC-users] excluding files from backup
So what is the proper syntax for excluding files backed up via smb from a windows box (folders too)? I have this currently, and I have tried adding a wildcard '/WINDOWS/*' , no difference : $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '*' = [ '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temp/', '/Documents and Settings/*/NTUSER.DAT', '/Documents and Settings/*/ntuser.dat.LOG', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat.LOG', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/Cache/', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/OfflineCache/', '/Documents and Settings/*/Recent/', '*.lock', 'Thumbs.db', 'IconCache.db', 'Cache', 'cache', '/WINDOWS/', '/RECYCLER/', '/MSOCache/', '/System Volume Information/', '/AUTOEXEC.BAT', '/BOOTSECT.BAK', '/CONFIG.SYS', '/hiberfil.sys', '/pagefile.sys', '/WINNT/' ] }; I found this thread which seems to imply my slashes need to go the other way ?? like '\WINDOWS\' ?? http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/backupfilesexclude-via-smb-for-windows-shares-solved-90560/ This thread has similar information: http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg08889.html SO, what IS the proper way to define excludes so it's not going to back up the windows folder and similar?
