Re: [BackupPC-users] How to run a manual backup.
Thanks, Les and Iosif for the headsup on that link. It explained the problem OK. So my plan now is rather than changing the crypto used, is to convert my small home network to use ECDSA keys over the weekend. Hope things go Ok.

Re: [BackupPC-users] How to run a manual backup.
Thanks, yes the real problem is with the configuration of sshd on CS-9. It seems to be slightly different than on CS-8. So I don't have ssh working on the CS-9 box yet. I get the following error when I try to ssh between accounts even on the laptop box itself. sshd[2608]: refusing RSA key: Invalid key length [preauth] sshd[2608]: Accepted password for root from 192.168.1.8 port 35958 ssh2 So I was hoping for the test of BackupPC that running a manual backup when the ssh login failed that it would fall back and ask for a password. This is just a test laptop and I wanted to make sure all the services I regularly use were working on it before I upgraded my home network. So it's back to sorting out sshd.

[BackupPC-users] How to run a manual backup.
Is it possible to run a backup of a share from the command line. I've checked the manual and can't seem to find it. I've several CentOS-Stream-8 boxes backing up without problems. I upgraded one box to CentOS-Stream-9 and I'm having trouble configuring sshd to get rsync for backuppc working. I'd just like to do a full backup of the home directories until I get sshd working.

At the moment I am just using the system Administrator (the only accounts on the Windows Server), would that be an issue? It seemed to work well using Administrator on Windows Server 2003. Windows has a backup operators account. I though conceptually that Administrators were allowed to do anything but sometimes have to take ownership of files (which shows in an audit log) before being able to access them, where backup operators are supposed to be able to make backups without changing ownership. Not sure if this means they get read access or if there is some magic about windows backups. There is also some weirdness about logging in with a password vs. using ssh keys, etc. that might be different in 2008. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

First that's a windoze share problem not a backuppc problem.
Now I don't know diddly all about windows and I don't want to ;-)
Wouldn't have that virus on any machine I'm responsible for.
So Second
1. are you sure the folder C$$ and subfolders if necessary are shared
properly from windows.
2. are you sure the backuppc UserName used to access the share has
permission to access the share
3. are you sure the backuppc SharePasswd is correct.
Tony
Not even looking for that
Hopefully something soon, really need to back up my servers
urgently.
Thank you.

Adding the line for;

You need a comma separator between each item

Isn't working, with / or \. It comes up with a failure to read the

Any idea why that would cause a config file read error?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude a directory.

Hi all !
First, please excuse me for my bad English, i'll try to do my best.
I just have a problem with backuppc. I have to backup a server using SMB
protocol, and everything work well.
The problem is that I have to exclude a directory of the backup. I read the
documentation and try to configure le folder to exclude from the web
interface, but it doesn't work.
So i tried to edit the /etc/backuppc/myhost.pl, and now it look like that :
$Conf#123;SmbShareName#125; = #91;
nbsp; 'commun'
#93;;
$Conf#123;SmbSharePasswd#125; = 'password';
$Conf#123;SmbShareUserName#125; = 'administrator';
$Conf#123;BackupFilesExclude#125; = #123;
nbsp; 'commun' = #91;'/Commun/Informatique/Folder_to_exclude/',
'/Commun/Informatique/Second_folder_to_exclude/'#93;,
#125;;
I tried with a * after the Folder_to_exclude/ and I still have the same
problem.
What did I'm doing wrong ?
I looked at the documentation, and search on internet, and I still can't
solve this problem ... help !
Here is an example of excluding a Windows directory from a backup.
#$Conf{SmbShareName} = 'C$';
$Conf{SmbShareName} = 'D$';
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'LRC-FILESRV\admin';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = '**';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'D$' = ['\.metadata','\System Volume Information', '\RECYCLER']
};
You have to use back rather than forward slashes!!
Hope this helps

Hi,
Just started using backuppc and it is a great tool.
I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple profiles for the one
host.
No problem. I have 10's of profiles for a particular file server. One for
each user. So that I can allow individual users do their own restores.
For example if you want to backup /home daily but only backup the system
files (/etc, /boot etc.) on a weekly basis.
This sounds like I would need two hostname.pl files but how would that
be handled.
Yep, two different hostname.pl files using the same $Con{ClientNameAlias}
setting in each pointing to the actual hostname.

Since files are pooled, there's really no downside to you doing full
backups every 7 days and incrementals every night, and just increasing
your retention periods to something you can live with.
If you're going to keep all those incrementals, I wouldn't recommend
doing full backups any less frequently than every two weeks or so, which
is often the point at which they become as slow or slower than full
backups.

Last night backuppc was a hero.
We had a dell sata raid card drop an array, just 'cause :P
anyway it was 11pm night last night restoring from backuppc (which
went very nicely) after ssh keys were restored and such ;)
anyway..
I noticed that the backups were only two weeks, and in reading in the
manual how to increase the retention time.. I quickly became confused..
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [4, 2, 3];
this looks like (by the explanation) that this would be 16 weeks of
backups, or 4 months.. would doubling that give it 8 months? and
tripling it be a year?
I am assuming it will still do nightly incrementals?
I am not sure if it is confusing or I am tired.. but either way I
would like to get an answer ;)
Thanks in advance,
From my own systems.
#Full backup every week
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.67;
#Keep 4 backups @ 1 week
# 4 @ 2 week
# 3 @ 4 week
# 1 @ 8 week
# 2 @ 16 week
#Over 1 years backups
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [4, 4, 3, 1, 2];
Full backup every week. Keep the last 4 weekly backups. Keep another 4 backups
before this at 2 weekly intervals. Keep another 3 backups before that again
at 4 weekly intervals and so on. The period between the retained backups
doubles each time.
Hope this explains things,
Tony

Re: [BackupPC-users] trashClean : Can't read /var/lib/backuppc/trash/.../fbackup: Permission denied
On Tuesday 29 January 2008 11:53:41 Alexander Lenz wrote:
Dear Users of BackupPC,
I asked about this before, but nobody had an idea how to stop it, so please
allow me to explain this again :
Backuppc has a trash directory with some 20 - 30 sub-dirs that go like
1199747634_27557_0, each of those containing fbackup as next-level
lower dir, and from hence on, this directory fbackup and all its
sub-directories are owned by 138:136.
Trash directory should really be empty most of the time.
Did you install backuppc as user 138:136 and forget about it, because on my
server all backuppc files are owned by the user backuppc:backuppc
Check the config file for $Conf{BackupPCUser} = 'backuppc';
Checking /etc/passwd, I didn't find any matching entry, the user backuppc
has uid:gid 110:111 - therefore, the above error Permission Denied -
this annoying message (see subject) pollutes my daily log at high
frequency.
Now the real problem is that the whole /pc hierarchy is affected too, every
/pc/pcname/fbackup directory and all ist sub-contents are 138:136, which
makes the restore mechanism fail !
Why on earth does backuppc create dirs/files with unknown arbitrary user
id, so it cannot access or delete them later ?
What might be wrong in the config and has to be changed ?
It doesn't there is some config error.
Btw, manually chown'ing the whole directory structure has proved useless,
all new files are again created for 138:136.
If that's happening then backuppc must be installed as that user.
Still hoping somebody's got a clue... ?

What exactly do you want to achieve.
If you set the WakeupSchedule in the config file to every hour then
BackupPC will wake up each hour and backup any clients that are available
Tony
Yes, but also the server. I want to force that to happen at 02.00 AM,
not at any other time.
BR / Jocke
OK, this is from my own setup.
Basically I run BackupPC_nightly at 0.30am. I just want to run
BackuppC_nightly at this time no actual backups.
Then I backup my servers at 3.30 and 6.30am and backup my clients at 11am 2pm
6pm and 9pm.
In the global config file set the wakeup schedule
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [
0.5,
3.50,
6.50,
11,
14,
18,
21
];
For the servers. In the per-server config file.
# Don't do backups between 7am and 2am
# Servers should be backed up overnight
# Backed up at first wakeup after 2am
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = 0;
$Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} = 3;
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin = 7.0,
hourEnd = 2.0,
weekDays = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
},
];
So servers are backed up at the first wakeup after 2am
For the clients. In the per-client config file
# Don't do backups between Midnight and 9am
# PC'c should be backed up during the day
# Backed up at first wakeup after 9am
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = 0;
$Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} = 3;
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin = 0.0,
hourEnd = 9.0,
weekDays = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
},
];
So clients are backed up at the first wakeup after 9am if they are online.
Otherwise they are checked at each wakeup till midnight.
Hope this helps,
Tony

it backed up all 20,000 files in that directory anyway.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can;t help with you file size problem but for BackupFilesExclude try
something like this.

[BackupPC-users] Problem with BackupFilesExclude
Hi,
I'm backing up a file share from a Windows box using the smb transfer
method. The problem is this share contains several very large log files
which the administrator of the windows box doesn't rotate or truncate. So
they are backed even when I do the nightly incremental backups.
I've tried to use BackupFilesExclude to exclude the files but I can't seem
to get the syntax right or it's not working
My per host config file is:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
$Conf{SmbShareName} = 'Plone 2';
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'WWW1\admin';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = '';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'Plone 2' = ['/Data/log/*', '/Data/var/*']
};
So what I'm trying to do is backup the folder Plone 2 but exclude the
Data/log and Data/var subfolders.
Thanks in advance.

Leave the config.pl file in conf where it is. This specifies the defaults

Hello,
I've got backuppc running successfully tunnelling

My question is if I have multiple hosts with various

target_host1
gets [/data, /home, /etc] backed up, and
target_host2 gets [/usr/local, /opt] backed up.
How do you specify this when there's only one
instance
of $Conf{RsyncShareName} = [/data, /home, /etc];?
How would I do ie:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [/data, /home, /etc];
(target_host1)
and:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [/usr/local /opt];
(target_host2)
Is this possible?

Hi,
I have a client with 50 or so pcs, all doing rsync backups throughout
the day to a backuppc server. Works Great.
We also have a linux box running a Cyrus Imap Store and we were running
rsync backups too, just getting the cyrus directories. This was working
great until a month or so ago when the rsync's started failed with
Child Exited Prematurely.
My guess was that because the mail store had grown over time to 16gb,
which would have comprised many thousands of files, that the list of
files were too big and timing out.
I know i could make multiple rsync shares and have the number of files
per rsync reduced, but because its cyrus imap its difficult to split
the store up, unless you do it for every user directory (a-z).
I am going to change strategy and backup the imap store locally to tar
and then use backuppc to sync the tar files. Each of the compressed
tar's is about 10gb. So each day at least 10gb will be pumped across
the network which will be gigabit.
However i want to ensure that this only happens at night and doesn't
interfere with the day to day operations.
So whats the best way to ensure this happens?
I guess i cant set a per host wake up schedule because thats global
right? I still want to have all pc's backup during the day normally.
1. Blackout Periods? Lets say I only want to backup between 1am and
6am. I can set a blackout period fine, but how do i manage...
$Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit}
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt}
...on a single host basis?
Do i just set $Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = 0; in the per pc config file?
2. Alternatively is there a way to schedule a backup of this host via
cron? and just disable regular backups?
TIA,
Regards,
Les
Les,
This will only allow backups for a particular Server take place between
Midnight and 8am.
It goes in the pc/servername directory.
