Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup Error not encountered before

Thorsten,

There is another thread discussing the same issue.  Could you follow the
suggestions there (confirm there are indeed two identical pool files)?

Thanks,
Craig

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup Error not encountered before

2018-10-30 Thread Thorsten Peters

Dear all,

I've encountered this same error message several times now.

In my case setting the log level to 5 helped to trace the error back to 
several files which seem to have duplicates. The error message always 
reads something like:

tarExtract: Botch - got multiple pool file matches
tarExtract: bpc_poolWrite_write: got 2 matching files for digest 
d2734b9512114c9e6687a54c7b4f7a50


This seems to be the same problem as mentioned in the recent thread 
"Backup failure due to two specific files".
In my case here, when a full backup is running it never comes to an end 
and then starts all over again. If it is an incremental backup, however, 
everything is fine and the backup completes.


Strangely, this error suddenly shows up for files that have been on the 
hosts for ages. I already tried to manually remove the problematic files 
from a host, after which the full backups succeed again, but around a 
week later other files suddenly start having the same problem.


This first happened a while ago with one host, but recently several 
other hosts started having the same problems on Windows 7, 10, and 
Server 2008 and it is becoming a serious issue.


So far I helped myself by increasing the full backup period of the hosts 
such that only incremental backups are currently running - but this is 
obviously not a good solution.


I'm using backuppc 4.2.1, samba version 4.3.11-Ubuntu, and tar (GNU tar) 
1.28.


Best regards,
Thorsten

It means BackupPC_tarExtract encountered a fatal error, and exited
with status 1.  There should be an error message in the XferLOG

You could look at the "Errors" display option in the host summary web page,
which should make it easier to find an unexpected message.  It is likely
close to the end of the file, before any cleanup is done.

You could also email me the XferLOG file.

Does anyone know what fail status 256 refers to?

I'm using BackupPC 4.2.1 with Samba 4.7.1 and backing up a windows 7 machine.

Thanks,
