You need a comma separator between each item
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
c$$' => [
'\Boot\*',
'\Documents and Settings\*'
]
};

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.

Create the directory /etc/BackupPC/pc. owner backuppc:backuppc. Copy the per-host file into it, owner backuppc:backuppc, and away you go.

[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. Thanks, Tony. ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
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.

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.

Ever since upgrading to Centos-5 from Centos-4.5 I've been experiencing the same problem. Full backups appear to work to the C$ share. But incremental backups or backups of other shares don't appear to work. At the moment for testing, I've got scheduled backups tomorrow morning of C$ share from one machine and D$ from another.

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

This is my understanding of it.
#Full backup every week
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.67;
#Keep 4 backups @ 1 week intervals from $Conf{FullPeriod} above
# 4 @ 2 week
# 3 @ 4 week
# 1 @ 8 week
# 2 @ 16 week
#Over 1 years backups
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [4, 4, 3, 1, 2];
So that should keep the following.
week 1 week 2 week 3 week 4
week 6 week 8 week 10 week 12
week 16 week 20 week 24
week 32
week 48 week 64

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';

If that's happening then backuppc must be installed as that user.

#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

$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,

Try something like the following
#Full backup every 2 weeks
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 13.67;
#Keep 4 backups @ 2 weeks
# 4 @ 4 weeks

# 4 @ 16 weeks

Not quite!!
Assuming the following
#Full backup every week
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
Then
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = ['6','8','13','0','16'];
keeps6 full backups at weekly intervals ( 6.97 days or 1 week )
8 full backups at 2 weekly intervals ( 1 week x 2 )
13 full backups at 4 weekly intervals ( 1 week x 4)
0 full backups at 8 weekly intervals ( 1 week x 8 )
and 16 full backups at16 weekly intervals ( 1 week x 16 )
So the first element in the array is the FullPeriod the second is the
FullPeriod x 2 the third is the Full Period x 4 and so on.
So that would keep the following Full backups in weeks.
1 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 28 32 36
6 8 13
Hope this helps,

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.

Yep, two different hostname.pl files using the same $Con{ClientNameAlias}
setting in each pointing to the actual hostname.

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

Just to finish off this thread I've just done an install of backuppc onto a
Centos-5.4 server.
The rpms came from the epel repo.
Sure enough the backuppc account is nologin
backuppc:x:101:105::/var/lib/BackupPC:/sbin/nologin
but the path to the mail command is sendmail
$Conf{SendmailPath} = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
Now I'll use the wiki article to try and configure it tomorrow and let you know
how I get on. If I remember there were problems with SELinux using that
article that's why I installed my working server from source.
Regards,
Tony

A full backup is kept as long as any incremental backup depends on it. This is no matter what you have "Full Max" set to. So the full of 09/04/2010 would be kept until the incrememtal backup of 16/04/2010 is deleted. Then both the full of 09/04/2010 and the incremental of 16/04/2010 would be deleted together.

[BackupPC-users] Problem getting the CGI Interface to run
Hi,
I'm new to BackupPC, been testing it out for the last week or so and can
do backups successfully.
Now I'm trying to get the CGI interface to work and am having troubles.
I'm getting the "Error: Unable to read config.pl or language strings!!"
error when I try and run BackupPC_Admin. The docs say this is probably a
permissions problem but I can't see where the problem is ;-(
I'm running BackupPC-2.1.2 on a fully updated Fedora Core 4 box so I'm
trying to get the CGI interface working with mod_perl.
The details:
I created a user "backuppc" and I'm running the httpd server as that user.
I inserted the following, from the docs, into the httpd.conf file
# Added for BackuppC < TM >
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthName "Backup User"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/htpasswd
Require valid-user
# Allow .htaccess files. Need to check this < TM >
AllowOverride All
I have a .htaccess file and the BackupPC_Admin script in the
/var/www/cgi-bin directory with the following permissions.
-rw-r--r-- 1 backuppc root129 Feb 16 13:44 .htaccess
-r-xr-xr-- 1 backuppc root 3932 Feb 15 20:29 BackupPC_Admin
The contents of the .htaccess file are
#AuthGroupFile /etc/httpd/conf/htgroup
AuthUserFile/etc/httpd/conf/htpasswd
AuthTypeBasic
AuthName"Access"
require valid-user
I created the /etc/httpd/conf/htpasswd file and put entries for root and
backuppc in it.
-rw-r--r-- 1 backuppc root64 Feb 16 12:55 htpasswd
The httpd server appears to be working OK. When I try and
run /cgi-bin/printenv it asks for authentication and runs the script.
The BackupPC config file is in /snapshots/backuppc/conf with permissions
drwxr-x--- 8 backuppc root 4096 Feb 15 20:29 ..
-rw-r- 1 backuppc root 64669 Feb 16 13:40 config.pl
and includes the following
$Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} = '';
$Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = 'root backuppc';
I can run the BackupPC_Admin script from the cgi-bin directory as root or
backuppc OK, prints out some html.
However when I try and run it from a browser, it asks for authentication
which I give it and then it gives back the
"Error: Unable to read config.pl or language strings!!" error.
If I try and run cgi-bin/printenv it says that REMOTE_USER has been set.
REMOTE_USER="backuppc"
Any ideas what's causing this problem because I'm stumped.
Regards,
Tony

Following Les's advice I switched off SELinux and rebooted the machine. The CGI interface worked a dream!!!. I've now set SELinux to permissive and rebooted and everything works. I'm getting lots of "avc denied" messages in the audit log. When I get time I'll look into them. Tony -- Tony Molloy. Dept. of Comp. Sci.

Les,
This will only allow backups for a particular Server take place between
Midnight and 8am.
It goes in the pc/servername directory.
# Don't do backups between 8am and Midnight
# Servers should be backed up overnight
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = 0;
$Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} = 3;
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin => 8.0,
hourEnd => 24.0,
weekDays => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
},

No, No!
Leave the config.pl file in conf where it is. This specifies the defaults
for the various parameters. In the pc/hostname directories put config.pl
files with contents which override the defaults in the main config.pl
files in conf.
Here is an example of a pc/config.pl file
#Full backup every week
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
#Keep 4 backups @ 1 week, Weeks: 0 1 2 3
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [4];
#Incremental backup daily and keep 6
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 6;
#Don't use partial backups
$Conf{PartialAgeMax} = -1;
# Don't do backups between 3am and Midnight
# Servers should be backed up overnight
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = 0;
$Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} = 3;
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin => 3.0,
hourEnd => 24.0,
weekDays => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
},
];
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['/etc', '/home', '/root', '/usr/local'];
$Conf{CompressLevel} = 0;
Hope this helps,

[BackupPC-users] aborted by signal=PIPE error
I'v been running backuppc on several Linux and Windows boxes for the last few months without any problems. An excelent piece of software ;-) Over the holiday weekend one backup failed. Why does it always happen over a holiday!! BackupPC was running on a Centos-4.3 box using rsync (rsync-2.6.3-1) transfer method to backup from a Fedora-4 box. The error it gave was Aborting backup up after signal PIPE Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by signal=PIPE) The only thing I can find on the partition causing the problem is that there is a 4.8Gb file present. Any ideas Regards, Tony -- Tony Molloy. Dept. of Comp. Sci. University of Limerick --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

It's backing up 2 partitions both about 40Gb from the Fedora box. Goes through the first one OK. Starts the second one and partway through the error appears. But not at the same file each time. I thought it might be the 4.8Gb file that was causing the problem but it appears not. Funny thing is when I ran the backup during the day as a user requested backup it ran OK. Last night I separated out the two partitions to two separate backups using two separate pc/host directories and it also worked OK. So I'm stumped. For tonights run I've put both back together into one pc/host directory and included the large file. So I'll let you know what happens.

I'll up it for that particular box in the pc/host config file and see what
happens.

Re: [BackupPC-users] aborted by signal=PIPE error
Well BackupPC ran last night on the problem machine without any problems. It did an incremental backup of the 2 40+Gb partitions including the large 4.8Gb file.

[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.

[BackupPC-users] Errors with 3.0beta1
Hi, I've just upgraded backuppc to 3.0beta1. The upgrade went OK and I did a small test backup which went OK. I'm having several problems with the Cgi interface though. When I look at the Log File I sometimes get the following: Software error: Undefined subroutine &BackupPC::CGI::View::action called \ at /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin line 109. and sometimes it works!! When I look at the Old Log Files I get Software error: Can't locate object method "sortedPCLogFiles" via package "BackupPC::Lib" at /opt/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/CGI/LOGlist.pm line 59. When I select a host to view and again look at he log file I get the same error. Software error: Undefined subroutine &BackupPC::CGI::View::action called at /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin line 109. Has something changed with the log format. Thanks, Tony -- Tony Molloy. Dept. of Comp. Sci. University of Limerick - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Try something like the following.
$Conf{SmbShareName} = 'D$';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'D$' => ['\System Volume Information']

As I said in my previous e-mail this is what I use and System Volume
Information is not backed up
$Conf{SmbShareName} = 'D$';
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = '';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = '';

Can;t help with you file size problem but for BackupFilesExclude try
something like this.
#This seems to exclude correctly
#guide and LICENSE are excluded and the contents of relnotes are but
#not the directory itself
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'java' =>
['\docs\relnotes\*', '\docs\guide', '\jdk1.5.0_04\LICENSE.rtf']

Where java is the share name and

I don't know of the recommended way, but in my case what I did was. I installed the new File::RsyncP. I was already runing 3.0.0beta1. So I just downloaded an untarred the distribution file and then ran "perl configure.pl" I was able to select all the defaults as they had been set up during the install of beta1. When I upgraded from 2.1 to 3.0 I moved my old config files to the new FHS locations. regards, Tony -- Tony Molloy. System Manager. Dept. of Comp. Sci. University of Limerick --- -- Tony Molloy.
