I don't think this is related to containers/not. In any case, no, backuppc doesn't support rsync compression, if you are using rsync over ssh, then you can enable compression on the ssh layer, otherwise, you will need to enable compression on the VPN layer (if using rsyncd). Finally, rsync will already try to be efficient with network bandwidth, so this may not make a big difference anyway. > Another issue I have while using backuppc inside an LXC container is > that all the hosts results unpingable, while in fact they are: from the > command line everything works fine as expected. > > Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks! You will need to check what command you are asking backuppc to use for ping. Perhaps post the logfile from backuppc showing the failed ping attempt.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Multiple instances of backuppc
Hello Andreas, and thanks for your reply. I'm already using LXC (it works great, btw), but I had an issue with backuppc that I was then able to track down as the use of compression. I was adding "--compress" to rsync options and that lead to strange timeouts and backup aborts. Isn't that the right way to add compression support to rsync? Since my hosts are on a remote network, compression would really be useful. Another issue I have while using backuppc inside an LXC container is that all the hosts results unpingable, while in fact they are: from the command line everything works fine as expected. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi Alessandro, Am 22.02.2016 um 16:21 schrieb Alessandro Polverini: > I would like to use backuppc for some of my servers and I would like to > have separate physical disks with different instances of backuppc running. I successfully run such a setup on one single server to backup two different entities with completely separated setups and web accesses. I did two independent installations under /data/entity1/backuppc /data/entity2/backuppc and run two BackupPC server processes with daemon --user backuppc /data/entity1/backuppc/bin/bin/BackupPC -d daemon --user backuppc /data/entity2/backuppc/bin/bin/BackupPC -d For the web interface, I have two virtual hosts. The configurations in the BackupPC_Admin scripts in the cgi-bin directory point to the two instances respectively. System is CentOS 7 with BackupPC 4.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Multiple instances of backuppc
May I suggest to create virtual containers with LXC? Proxmox, which is based on debian makes this very easy. Since the containers are separated from each other, you don’t need to do any kind of config file hacking. > Am 22.02.2016 um 16:21 schrieb Alessandro Polverini : > > Hello, > I would like to use backuppc for some of my servers and I would like to > have separate physical disks with different instances of backuppc running. > > I'm using debian, I tried to create a different set of config files and > hack the init.d file, but I was unable to run a second instance: does > someone have some hints to reach that goal? > > Thanks, > Alex > > -- > Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance > APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month > Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now > Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.

[BackupPC-users] Multiple instances of backuppc
Hello, I would like to use backuppc for some of my servers and I would like to have separate physical disks with different instances of backuppc running. I'm using debian, I tried to create a different set of config files and hack the init.d file, but I was unable to run a second instance: does someone have some hints to reach that goal?
