[BackupPC-users] Rsyncd

[Byron Trimble]

I've rsyncd to backup a Win2k Server to a Linux server. I'm getting this
error message when trying to perform the backup:

backup failed (Unknown module 'Modulename')

I setup the Modulename in the rsyncd.conf file on the Win2k Server. I also
have the rsyncd service running on the Win2k server. Any ideas on what could
be wrong?

Thanks,

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd info

[Terry]

Hi I was just wondering what rsync does when running rsyncd on the 
client if a full backup fails.
Does it try and continue from where it left off on the next run ?
Also for the next full backup I assume it does a complete copy ?

Thanks
Terry

[BackupPC-users] RSYNCD exclusions

[Lee A. Connell]

I am using rsyncd for transport which is working great on a
windows client.  However I specified an exclusion:

 

 

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';

$Conf{RsyncShareName} = 'Data';

$Conf{RsyncdAuthRequired} = 0;

 

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/cygdrive/d/MUSIC'];

 

This did not work, it backed up the MUSIC folder anyways, am
I excluding that properly?

Did you restart the rsyncd service after making the change?  If you
run 'rsync hostname::' from another machine you should get back
a list of configured modules.

Les,

One question. I have BackupPC running on a Linux server. I'm trying to
backup a Win2k server. Should I have the rsync daemon running on the Linux
or Win2k server?

The rsync daemon would run on the win2k box.  Backuppc has a version
of rsync embedded, but you can test the setup with the linux
command line rsync like:
rsync target_host::
The double-colons indicate that the remote is running in standalone
daemon mode and omitting a destination makes it give a listing.
After you see the module name list you can:
rsync target_host::module/
for a directory listing.  If those aren't working, you have a problem
on the windows side.

On the Win2k side, are the directory paths in the rsyncd.conf supposed to be
\ (windows) or /(unix)?

When I ran rsync target_host::, this is the message that I reeived:

@ERROR: auth failed on module MSSQL
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1296)
[receiver=2.6.8]

Any advice on what this error means?

It may just mean you didn't supply the right password.  Try a
backup run and look at the log.

Whatever matches your rsyncd.conf settings on the other end. If you
specify something like:
auth users = backuppc
secrets file = C:\rsyncd\rsyncd.secrets
the password would be whatever you put in the rsycnd.secrets files
in the form backuppc:my_password
I think these are case sensitive.

When running backuppc, the user will be what you set in
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 
and the password in
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} =

Be sure they match, including upper/lower case and that there are
no spaces around the : separating the user and password in the
rsyncd.secrets file.

If you are testing with the command line rsync and the user
is not the same as the logged-in user running the command,
use the syntax:
rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]::module

Byron, perhaps you should post your rsyncd.conf on your Window's box and pc
config.pl from BackupPC to the list.  Make sure to censor your passwords if
necessary.  It seems like you have a simple misconfiguration issue but it's
hard to pin point without specifics.

I use rsync over ssh with Linux boxes, but every once in a while I  
get the 'aborted by signal=PIPE' error too. When I restart the backup  
it usually just works. Might have been a network hiccup?

Byron, perhaps you should post your rsyncd.conf on your Window's box and pc
config.pl from BackupPC to the list.  Make sure to censor your passwords if
necessary.  It seems like you have a simple misconfiguration issue but it's
hard to pin point without specifics.

I use rsync over ssh with Linux boxes, but every once in a while I  
get the 'aborted by signal=PIPE' error too. When I restart the backup  
it usually just works. Might have been a network hiccup?

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd problem

[Jim McNamara]

I am having a problem with rsyncd between backuppc and a remote windows box
running the rsync package provided on the backuppc page at sourceforge. I
installed a clean version of backuppc 3.0.0, moving all the old backups from
2.1.1 to an alternate machine should I need them later.

The problem is that rsyncd will start this job, get through the 21 Gb of
data in the apps share from the windows server, then crash out on getting
the 60 Mb from the UPC share.

Here is the rsyncd.conf file from the windows server:

use chroot = false
max connections = 2
log file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.log
pid file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.pid
lock file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.lock

[apps]
   path = g:/apps
   comment = apps folder
   strict modes = false
   auth users = backuppc
   secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
   hosts allow = 192.168.2.1
   read only = false
   list = true

[UPC]
   path = f:/UPC
   comment = UPC files
   auth users = backuppc
   secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
   hosts allow = 192.168.2.1
   strict modes = false
   read only = false
   list = true

The important part of this host's config file on the backuppc server:

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['UPC', 'apps'];
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';

The password is obviously good, as backuppc can get the apps share, and both
shares set the password in the same file, c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets. There is
nothing about a failure in the rsyncd.log on the windows machine.

Here are the last few lines of the backuppc error log:

Starting file 22782 (sota.ini), blkCnt=0, blkSize=2048, remainder=0

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd problem

[nilesh vaghela]

I want to use rsyncd as backup method.

I am using 3.0 version.

Getting error like:

full backup started for directory /data (baseline backup #34)
Error connecting to rsync daemon at 192.168.2.206:873: inet connect:
Connection refused
Got fatal error during xfer (inet connect: Connection refused)
Backup aborted (inet connect: Connection refused)


It seems rsync daemon not running. But rsync backup works fine.

thanx

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd and selinux

[Kenneth Porter]

I just fought through dealing with errors in my backup due to attempting to 
back up sockets and wanted to share my solution.


Here's an example of the error message:

rsync: readlink_stat("/var/spool/postfix/private/tlsmgr" (in root)) failed: 
Permission denied (13)


(Postfix creates a directory full of sockets for all its processes, so I 
got quite a few errors in that directory.)


On CentOS 7 I found I needed this:

setsebool -P rsync_full_access 1

You may also need:

setsebool -P rsync_export_all_ro 1

I'd prefer to just enable read-only access but that doesn't allow the 
readlink_stat needed to back up a socket. (I don't see a man page for that. 
Is that API part of BackupPC or rsync?)

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd on mac

[Eduardo Díaz Rodríguez]

Negotiated protocol version 28


Hi I see that the File-RsyncP-0.70 only runs to Protocol version 28. 
but I see interesting facts for backup MAC systems.

the default mac version 2.6.8 is very slow in my test.

I put the last version of rsync 3.0.7 and see a speed improbe.

My questions are two.

1, What is the best and the faster option for backup remote files?? 
(rsync or rsyncd) for me is rsyncd.

for example.

two full

rsync 2.6.8(mac version) 541593.5 (files in MB) TIME: 448.1
rsync 3.0.7(https://github.com/MacLemon/mlbackup/) 543157.5 (files in 
MB) TIME: 276.1.
use the last version becasue is more faster...

2,  There is any chances that the File-RsyncP perl module future 
support protocol 30 in a future?

Regards!

P.D. anybody make test?

Is interesting put this in wiki? I have the complete manual for make 
rsyncd running in MAC OS. ;-)

[BackupPC-users] Rsyncd cygwin Problem..

[Travis.Schwenke]

So, my goal was going to be rsync on all machines, I seem to have that
working fine now on my windows machines, but my work laptop is part of a
domain so I figured I would try rsyncd and learn how it worked in the
process.  It is trying to backup, but it is not following my rules
correctly.  It is only grabbing one of my directories and I am not sure why!
It is only getting the /eng_apps area and not the other two, this was
working fine with smb.

 

Start of the LOG file

full backup started for directory root (baseline backup #12)

Connected to machine:873, remote version 30

Negotiated protocol version 28

Connected to module root

Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D

Rsyncd.conf on machine in c:\cygwin\etc

gid = users

read only = true

use chroot = false

transfer logging = false

log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log

log format = %h %o %f %l %b

hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0

strict modes = false

[root]

path = /cygdrive/c/

auth users = backuppc

secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secret

 

 

machine.pl (I did everything via the CGI I see some smb settings are still
in the file, I omitted them this paste, I hope they are not causing the
issue)

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {

  '*' => [

'/users/me',

'/data',

'/eng_apps'

  ]

};

$Conf{ClientCharset} = 'cp1252';

$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [

  'root'

];

$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'xxx';

$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';

 

 

So why is it only getting ONE of the directories I specified?

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd full backup

[Sharuzzaman Ahmat Raslan]

Hi,

I have implemented BackupPC for my customer.

Initially, the backup transport is SMB, but recently, I noticed a lot of
machine backup (full and incremental) is not able to complete in 8 hours,
due to large number of file, and big file size.

Last week, I installed DeltaCopy (rsycnd server for Windows) on one
machine, and change the backup transport to rysncd. The backup runs well.

But today, I noticed, when BackupPC is running a full backup on the machine
that have rsyncd, it still takes 8 hours to do full backup.

Which is I considered weird, because rsync suppose to compare that full
backup, with the previous full backup (or previous full + incremental), so
that only modified file is transferred.

That is my expectation when I plan to use rsyncd.

Any explanation why BackupPC is not running in this way? Any configuration
that I can changed to make it work like what I expect?

Thanks.

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd : unexpected response

[FL]

Hi,

I try to backup Netware server with rsyncd (ver 2.6.3)

When I manually launch pull from my Linux backuppc server with command 
line :

rsync -rav -rRutzvPn --progress  --stats myserver::USER /backuppc

all work fine.

But when I launch backup from cgi interface (host home / Star full 
backup) it fail with this error :

Error connecting to module USER at myserver:873: unexpected response: 
'This is the Netware(r) port of Rsync 2.5.6.'

I don't understand  the meaning of this error and  how to solve it.

Does somebody can help me ?

Fred.

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd over ssh

[Joe Krahn]

I decided that the best way to handle rsync security is with rsync in
daemon mode, over ssh, with sudo. The advantages are that rsync daemon
mode allows for chroot and a lot of access controls, but running a
normal rsync daemon could leave some local access security holes, and id
very restricted by many SELinux security configurations.

I now have set up an ssh authorized_key to an unprivileged account,
which runs sudo to start rsync in daemon mode, with a specific
rsyncd.conf. (Earlier, I didn't realize that sudo can limit command
arguments as well as executables.) The rsyncd.conf enforce restrictions
better than my previous attempt at an rsync proxy command.

I have this working for BackupPC. It required a bit of hacking to merge
rsync and rsyncd connections in File::RsyncP.pm, which is implemented
outside of the RsyncP.pm module. I hacked the option to use it into
BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm by using this method when rsyncd is selected with
a port value of zero.

[BackupPC-users] Rsyncd transfer speed

[Alan Orlič Belšak]

Hello,

is there a way to speed up transfer via rsyncd, the last backup was at 
0,9 MB/s. The network is 100Mb, the backup was made on local disk (no 
USB involved), except the include list was involved and there is a lot 
of empty directories.

Bye, Alan

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd connection stalled

[Kenneth Porter]

I started a backup from a new workstation and I can see the rsyncd 
connection with "lsof -i" but tcpdump shows no traffic passing over it. 
What would cause BackupPC_dump to stall? I also have another backup in 
progress from another system and I see lots of traffic from its rsyncd 
port. Is this situation normal?

[BackupPC-users] Rsyncd on XP

[Eric Snyder]

I was having problems with SMB on XP pro so have shifted gears and am 
trying Rsyncd. I ran a full backup of the cDrive setup. The problem is 
that I am using a backup user I created that is part of the user group 
"Backup Operators". I do get files backed up but... The only files I get 
in the Documents and Settings folder is the backup user's files 
(basically empty). There are other users there and I need to get those 
files backed up as well. There seems to be a permission problem and I 
can't get the other users files backed up.

How do I get all the users files backed up using Rsynced?

Config file:
[cDrive]
path = c:
comment = Entire Drive
auth users = removed,removed
secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
# hosts allow = 172.16.0.17
strict modes = false
read only = true
list = false

[BackupPC-users] Rsyncd and WinXP

[Peter Bloomfield]

Dear All,

I apologise for re-visiting this, but I am having difficulty backing up a WinXP 
machine over rync.

I am using Backuppc version 3.1.0, and cygwin's rsync on the WinXP box.

When I issue a fuill backup, I get the following message in backuppc

Executing DumpPostUserCmd: /home/backuppc/Bin/NotifyUsers -h  -u 
*...@ -m ** -c 0 -t full -s hr_info
Got fatal error during xfer (chdir failed)
Backup aborted (chdir failed)

I have blanked out the email address, host and user for this email. I then went 
and looked on the WinXP
in the rsync.log file and I get the following message,

2009/05/01 16:39:23 [4024] rsync: chdir 
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/f:/Alvina_PET/HR_Info failed

Has anyone else seen this, or can someone point me in the direction of a 
solution, thanks

Peter

[BackupPC-users] Rsyncd --sparse flag

[Nigel Kendrick]

Hi,
 
Does backuppc support the --sparse flag for rsyncd remote backups -
searching for answers led me to 'probably not' in an old post.
 
If it is supported, any benefit of using it with my famous database backup
dumps?
 
Thanks
 
Nigel

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd restore issue

[Matthias Meyer]

Hello,

I have two files (both Access DB). One with 2MB and the other with 200MB.
Both are backed up with BackupPC 3.1.0 using rsyncd from my Windows-PC.
If I delete the 200MB file on my Windows-PC the restore need only some
minutes.
If I restore both, only the first one (2MB) will be restored.
After hours of duration I abort the restore process.

I've also tried to chmod ugo=rwx the files in front of a restore. But alos
without success.

I've tried loglevel=9 and checked the RestoreLOG.1.z (208MB).
Unfortunately I didn't found a error messages.

Any hint how to find the reason?

Thanks in advance
Matthias

I don't succeed to backup this same /home directory with 'tar' method too !?

What is the limit directory size that BackupPC is able to backup ?

Re: [BackupPC-users] RSYNCD exclusions

[marksma]

Don't use the cygdrive in your inclusions/exclusions.  Exclude d/Music/ 
(assuming your Rsync share is d).  You can also use wildcarding 
(*/Music/), I exclude all IE temp files from Windows backups by 
excluding */Temporary Internet Files/*, which has cut my backup space 
by over a gig on some machines.

can you connect with the command-line rsync program?
can you post your per-host configuration file?

this error is beyond me.
I'd try connecting to the remote server with the command-line rsync tool
tho, to make sure that much is working correctly.

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsyncd exclude

[Jason Hughes]

I had no luck with getting rsyncd on Windows to work with spaces in 
filenames through the config file.  I resorted to using the 8.3 
filenames instead, ie:
secrets file = c:/Progra~1/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets

The easy way to find them is to do a "dir /x" and you get both the long 
and short names.

Hope this helps,
JH

[Chris Purves]

Hello,

I am running backuppc 2.1.1 on debian.  I have a rsync server running on 
a Windows XP machine (cwRsync).  The two machines are connected via a 
VPN (L2TP over IPSEC).

I can use rsync directly with no problems.  The transfer takes about 
four minutes.  But when backuppc runs, the transfer freezes up after 
what looks like the last file is transfered.  After two hours of 
inactivity have passed, backuppc gives up and closes the connection as 
well as not leaving even a partial backup.

A significant difference I noticed between the two cases is that the 
rsyncd log when calling rsync directly says "rsync on test", but when 
using backuppc says "rsync on ."  Test is the correct name of the rsyncd 
share.  The only change I made to config.pl concerning rsync is to add 
--compress as an rsync option.  Any help solving this problem is 
appreciated.  Log/config file outputs are below.

Here is the rsyncd log from a straight rsync backup running the command 
'rsync --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --devices --links --times 
--block-size=2048 --recursive --compress rsync://aims-03/test ~/temp/'

The interesting part of the log file will be the beginning, since

shares are finished.

Can you email me the first part of the XferLOG file off list, or
send a URL to the complete XferLOG file?

Craig,

Thanks for your personal attention on this. The XferLOG is now available in
the images directory:

http://mail.stephanco.com/backuppc/images/

The log from the email you replied to has since been overwritten since it
was only considered a partial backup. The emails yesterday between the one
you replied to and now seem to show that backuppc is only able to get one of
the two modules rsyncd is sharing. Initially it allowed apps to work and UPC
failed. I changed UPC to upc, and now that works while apps fails.

Thanks again,
Jim

Thanks for the log file.  In the transfer of the apps share, I see:

Sent include: /apps
Sent include: /upc
Sent exclude: /*

So it appears that you have $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} set to something like:

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
 "apps" => ["/apps", "/upc"],
 "upc"  => ["/"],
};

The failure "No files dumped for share apps" is correct, since there
are no files below /apps or /upc in the apps share.

Changing the case of the share name causes the setting in
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} to no longer match, and the backup succeeds.

I can't explain why changing the order of the shares causes
the other one to fail.  But the issue is related to the setting
of $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}...

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd: chdir failed

[Lluís Forns]

when doing a backup using rsyncd I recive this error:

Connected to 192.0.0.98:873, remote version 29
Error connecting to module home at 192.0.0.98:873: chdir failed
Got fatal error during xfer (chdir failed)
Backup aborted (chdir failed)

both server and client are Linux (ubuntu); I have read somewhere it is a 
permission problem, but I don't know how to make rsync run as root (I 
think this is the solution of the problem). My configuration files are:

=== SERVER ===
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['home','etc'];
$Conf{XferLogLevel} = 1;
$Conf{ArchiveComp} = 'bzip2';
$Conf{CompressLevel} = 9;
$Conf{PingMaxMsec} = 200;

$Conf{RsyncdUserName}  = "user";
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd}= "password1";

=== Client: rsyncd.conf ===
use chroot = false
max connections = 2
[home]
uid = root
gid = root
path = "/home"
comment = "Home"
auth users = user
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
hosts allow = 192.0.0.97
strict modes = false
read only = true
list = false


Any hint? thanks a lot

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsyncd problem

[samir faoudi]

may be the authentication:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = 'UserName';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'BackBox99';
they shopuld be the same as in the rsyncd.secret file

or the port number:
$Conf{RsyncdClientPort} = 873;



2007/4/21, nilesh vaghela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


I want to use rsyncd as backup method.

I am using 3.0 version.

Getting error like:

full backup started for directory /data (baseline backup #34)
Error connecting to rsync daemon at
192.168.2.206:873: inet connect: Connection refused
Got fatal error during xfer (inet connect: Connection refused)
Backup aborted (inet connect: Connection refused)


It seems rsync daemon not running. But rsync backup works fine.

thanx

Check that the daemon is running as well.
Just do a netstat -tnl|grep 873

[BackupPC-users] Rsyncd Authentication failure

[Peter McKenna]

I keep getting this but I've checked all the settings several times.
Got fatal error during xfer (auth failed on module bitt)

This is in my settings
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  'bitt'
];
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'dd3479';

and this is my rsyncd.conf
[bitt]
path = /home/bitt
chroot = yes
auth users = backuppc
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

 and here's my rsyncd.secrets
backuppc:dd3479

I can't see the problem. It works fine when I turn off authentication. 
Any ideas.
Peter

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd and permissions

[Chantal Rosmuller]

Hi List,

I usually use rsync and ssh for backuping up and restoring but it's pretty 
slow so I tried using rsyncd. This works but when I restored files the owner 
of all files was nobody instead of the original owner. I tried 
adding --archive as an option to rsyncd but that's not possible. How can I 
backup with backuppc and keer the original ownership?

Here's my rsyncd.conf:


max connections = 2
  log file = /var/log/rsync.log
  timeout = 300

  [pub]
comment = Random things available for download
path = /restored/
read only = no
list = yes
uid = nobody
gid = nogroup
   auth users = pub
   secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

Btw I know it says uid = nobody but that's the default so removing it will not 
fix this.

regards Chantal

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd over xp

[Edouard de Ganay]

Hi there,

This might be an usual question, but I just can't find anything to get
this working

Server :
SME 7.2 with backuppc 3.0-1 as contrib.

client :
xp pro sp2

rsyncd installed on c:\program files\rsyncd
running as a service (it seems ok, I can see it as a service)
firewall open for port TCP 873

rsyncd.secret ok
rsyncd.conf seems ok (maybe there is a pb with spaces in directory path,
like documents and settings etc)

When lauching a full backup of the machine, log only see :

full backup started for directory edg
Error connecting to rsync daemon at 192.168.1.120:873: inet connect: Connexion 
refusée
Got fatal error during xfer (inet connect: Connexion refusée)
Backup aborted (inet connect: Connexion refusée)

any idea ?

Thanks for your help,
Edd

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd permission denied

[Barry Robinson]

I am trying to back up a debian system from a ubuntu 7.04 system with
Backuppc 3.0.

I have created the group admin -system and added backuppc to this group.
/etc/rsyncd.conf lists backuppc as the auth user
visudo shows admin group to have ALL

# User privilege specification
rootALL=(ALL) ALL

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL


rsyncd.log shows the following and this is just a snippit.

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd excludes problem (3.2.1)

[Benjamin Redling]

Hello everybody,

my exclude list seems to be defunct since adding a few absolute paths
via the web interface. Recently(?) /tmp subdirectories and absolute
paths (/anonuser... see below) are filling up the discs.
XferMethod is rsyncd, shouldn't '*/tmp' avoid this?
Did a restart of backuppc after every change.

>From the config.pl:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '*' => [
'*/tmp',
'*/.cache',
'*/temp',
'*/Cache',
'*/cache',
'/anonuser1/usenet-de/per-group',
'/anonuser2/sub-dir1/sub-dir2/models',
'/anonuser3/downloads',
'*/privat*',
'*/ImapMail',
'*.iso',
'*.ISO',
'*/.macromedia',
'*/.local/share/Trash',
'*.ogg',
'*.OGG',
'*.mp3',
'*.MP3',
'*.mp4',
'*.MP4'
  ]
};

I've also tried putting the new paths to an explicitly defined share:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '*' => [
'*/tmp',
'*/.cache',
'*/temp',
'*/Cache',
'*/cache'
  ],
  'home' => [
'/anonuser1/usenet-de/per-group',
'/anonuser2/sub-dir1/sub-dir2/models',
'/anonuser3/downloads',
'*/privat*',
'*/ImapMail',
'*.iso',
'*.ISO',
'*/.macromedia',
'*/.local/share/Trash',
'*.ogg',
'*.OGG',
'*.mp3',
'*.MP3',
'*.mp4',
'*.MP4'
  ]
};

BackupPC 3.2.1-2ubuntu1.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, x86_64

What am I doing wrong?

Under which user account is rsyncd running?  My first guess would be that
it is a permission problem.

It may be enlightening to turn transfer logging on.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Rsyncd cygwin Problem..

[Travis Schwenke]

So, it looks like rsyncd is running as:
  Local System account

I guess I could switch that to run as my domain account on the machine.
 Just not sure if I should use all commands from cygwin shell to kill this
one and start another or just change it from the windows gui (IF NEEDED)..

I compared the directories and the properties and they all look the same
(well, my user directory was slightly different, but expected).  It ran an
incremental last night and I changed what "user" I was passing over in the
rsyncd setup (and changed the conf to reflect that user) and it looks like
it did the exact same thing, as in only looked at the one directory.

Being my work machine, my ID is from the domain and while I they give us
admin privileges, there are still some things we can't do, like add a local
user.  The ID I used this time was my domain ID in the rsyncd setup to try
to see if it was an issue with that.

Also, changed the log level on the client and the log looks exactly the
same. Actually the log files look pretty clean.  It is really like it is
almost not even trying to do the other two directories.

You have a few alternatives, which involve matching up the user that
rsync[d] is running as to the permissions on the directories you'd like to
synchronize.  The Local System account usually doesn't have access to
domain directories, but they can be granted; alternatively, you can run
rsyncd as a domain user.

To clarify:  the rsyncd user -- the one in rsyncd.conf -- does not
actually relate to anything in any way except allowing connections to
rsync.  It's not a cygwin, Windows, or domain user.  Although it can be
named the same, you can easily just use "hoobydooby" and everything will
work the same.

As above, you need to run rsyncd as the domain user; the user in
rsyncd.conf is inherently meaningless.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Rsyncd cygwin Problem..

[Travis Schwenke]

Well, I guess it is *SOLVED*...

I didn't change how the service was running.  Since I couldn't see any
differences in the directories or privileges I decided to try something
else.  I went to the rsyncd.conf file on the client and setup three shares
that match the directories I was trying to backup.  I realize this could
mean that (especially the user directory) might restore to the wrong place,
that is ok, as long as I can get to the backup.

It worked *PERFECT*.  Ran right through the three shares and backed them
up.  Not exactly sure why it wasn't working the other way.  For this one
client, I don't mind having the extra step of creating the shares, it is
not something that is going to change.

Thanks!  And thanks for the confirmation on the rsyncd user/pass meaning
nothing, I figured it was a doesn't matter, but wasn't sure, that is why I
matched it to my ID on the system just in case it was slipping through
somehow.

Rsync will only transfer the changed data, but in full runs the
contents of the files are read at both ends and compared with block
checksums, so it takes some time.  Incrementals runs will quickly skip
files where the file timestamps and lengths are identical.   See the
section on 'Rsync checksum caching' in
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html regarding a way to
avoid having to read/uncompress on the server side after 2 fulls have
completed, but the data is always read on the target side.

Hi Les,

In essence, if I enable

--checksum-seed=32761

then the rsync full backup will be faster?

Thanks.

Yes, the third full backup after you enable that option will be faster 
*IF* the slow speed is due to the backup server needing to decompress 
the file and check the content.


In the case that your backup client has really slow disk, then there is 
nothing you can do, except maybe modify backuppc for full backups to not 
send the ignore-times option to rsync (ie, every backup is an 
incremental). Or, of course, upgrade the client to improve performance.

Adam

let me stress that again: don't expect a speedup on the *first* full backup
after you enable that option. In my limited opinion (I haven't compared speeds
because I don't have any issues with slow backups), the *second* full backup
should be faster, as you have pre-existing full backups, i.e. the next full
can add the checksums. In any case, the *third* full backup should hopefully
be faster :-).

Actually, it is worth noting that aside from a possible speed improvement the
switch from smb to rsync(d) gives you far more precise *incremental* backups,
so it might be an option to increase FullPeriod. This may transfer more data
(because the delta is always relative to the reference backup - normally the
previous full backup - and not to the previous incremental backup), but you
can always explore the IncrLevels setting. So, while you might not speed up
the full runs, you might get away with doing them less often. I would not
recommend patching the ignore-times option away altogether.

But Adams point is correct: you need to find out where the problem is, before
you can fix it. While you might be able to find the problem by trying out
fixes, that might not be the most efficient way :-).

Regards,
Holger

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsyncd full backup

[Sharuzzaman Ahmat Raslan]

Hi Holger,

Based on short session of troubleshooting, I believe the machine actually
suffer from low I/O speed to the disk. Average read is about 3 MB/s, which
I considered slow for a SATA disk in IDE emulation.

I'm planning to suggest to the customer to have a RAID 1 setup to increase
the I/O speed. I'm looking at possibilities to speed things up by not
having to change the overall setup.

Thank you for providing new insights to me regarding rsync. Glad to learn
new things :)

Thanks.

Is that under load, or while idle? If it is under load, then it might be 
expected, remember throughput is very bad for HD when you have random 
load due to seek times.

If it is idle and has that performance level, then there is something 
wrong. Even old IDE disks could do at least 30 to 50MB/s for large 
contiguous reads.

While RAID1 will assist in reliability and is one strategy to reduce 
downtime/data loss (but it isn't a backup), it also is not going to 
improve performance. With RAID1 you still need to write to both disks, 
and while it is theoretically possible to balance reads across both 
disks, it likely won't do that well without a proper hardware raid 
controller.

Personally, my suggestion would be to consider using a SSD, since you 
are using such an old drive, probably you don't need a lot of space, so 
a 120GB SSD might be suitable. An SSD will handle random IO 
significantly better than any one or two drive system, with much higher 
transfer rates as well (there is no penalty for seek times with SSD).

Again, personally, I've used a couple of systems with 5 x 480GB Intel 
520s SSD in RAID5, and they have been working really well (except they 
were difficult to actually get stock of them most of this year, and I 
hear they are now replaced by a new model).

Adam

Hi Adam,

The low I/O is when the machine is under load.

Thank you for suggesting to use SSD. I have been thinking about that as
well, but currently, the storage of BackupPC is using a 1TB disk, with
about 80% utilization.

Changing to 1TB SSD might be a little bit overkill on the customer's budget
:)

Maybe I should look at bcache for Linux :)

Sure, 2 x 480GB SSD in linear RAID is still relatively expensive :) 
though it certainly is a huge performance improvement. BTW, FYI, I get 
2.5GB/s read and 1.5GB/s write performance from my RAID5...

I've seen that also, but I'm not sure it is a good (stable) solution for 
real use (at least, I'm not prepared to use that for a server yet, your 
tolerance might be different). In addition, it probably won't help the 
backup work load, since you need to read the entire disk, and the entire 
disk won't fit into the cache

*REAL* slow:  I consider anything under 20MB/s slow.

But where did that number come from?  The pattern of reads will make a 
*huge* difference...

I think you might want to have a better idea of what is going on first 
before you just start throwing hardware at it.  If your numbers were 
correct but still too slow I'd say sure.  But your numbers are *broken* 
wrong.  You *might* fix your problem (by accident!) by throwing away some 
pieces and adding others, but you might not, too.  Then you've got a 
client that just spent a bunch of money for nothing...

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsyncd full backup

[Sharuzzaman Ahmat Raslan]

Hi Timothy,

I got the number by observing the output of iotop while file transfer is
running. Also, on BackupPC host summary page, average transfer rate for
full backup is also around 3MB/s

It could be a network bottleneck also, as the customer is using 100Mbps
switch with around 80 PC, not including network printer and servers.
Inclusive should be around 100 network devices.

Any idea how to properly troubleshoot network bottleneck? My skill is a
little bit lacking on that area.

Thanks.

Where are you getting that number?   hdparm -tT  device_partition_name
should show about 30MB/s for the lower number even for old IDEs and at
least 2 or 3x that for SATA with a SATA controller - even old ones.

RAID1 is a good idea to protect against a single drive failure, but it
won't make a lot of difference in speed.  Writes go to both, reads can
overlap if the software is smart.   But, if you are currently running
RAID5, using bigger disks in RAID1 would help.

For file transfers, 100Mb/s is good for 7MB/s transfer rate.  Assuming a 
good quality switch (which is a *big* assumption), the number of computers 
shouldn't matter.

But I would think strongly about buying a good quality Gigabit switch (I 
recommend the HP V1910-24G) as your "backbone":  Plug all of your servers 
(including the BackupPC server) into it, as well as each of your 100Mb/s 
switches (even better if they have Gb uplink ports!).  That would 
eliminate the network as a bottleneck and only costs $300.  And improve 
network performance across the board, though your users may not notice it 
if they only work with small files.

> Any idea how to properly troubleshoot network bottleneck? My skill 
> is a little bit lacking on that area.

Sure:  Time the copying of files from one machine to another.  Assuming 
the source and destination hard drives are faster than 7MB/s (and they 
very well *better* be!), then you'll saturate a 100Mb network no problem.

For a more scientific approach, check out iperf.

I'd be *much* more worried about checking out your *disk* performance. You 
can do tests in exactly the same way:  copy files to and from the disk and 
see what happens.  Here are some very simple examples:

sync; time dd if=/dev/zero of=test.fil bs=1M count=1024; sync; sync; sync;
sync; time dd if=test.fil of=/dev/null bs=1M

The first line times the writing of a 1GB file named test.fil.  The second 
one times the reading of the same 1GB file.  Divide 1024 by the number of 
seconds it takes and that will give you the MB/s that you transferred. 
(The sync command is needed for accurate timing;  the three sync commands 
is kind of an old UNIX graybeard joke:  
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5260/is-there-truth-to-the-philosophy-that-you-should-sync-sync-sync-sync
 
)

If you want more scientific disk performance information, check out iozone 
or iometer.

Remember:  always profile before you optimize.  (

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd Antivirus-SW problem

[martin . milinovsky]

Hallo,

I have problems getting backups from Windows-PCs with rsyncd: if
Kaspersky Anti-Virus-SW is active on the client, the backup fails, if
Kaspersky is disabled everything runs smooth. There is no error-message
in the logs, the backup simply hangs :-( I don't want to get into the
details of configuring the Kaspersky-client, but I opened tcp-port 873
for incoming and outgoing traffic and allowed the rsyncd-Program all
activities.

The manual check with the command

rsync - [EMAIL PROTECTED]::Fotos/

shows the exact same behaviour (without AV a list of the folders on the
client is received, with AV rsync hangs). My setup is the following:

Server: BackupPC 3.0.0 on Ubuntu
Client: rsynd 2.6.8 on Windows XP

rsyncd.conf on the client:

use chroot = false
max connections = 3
log file = c:/Tools/Backup/rsyncd.log
pid file = c:/Tools/Backup/rsyncd.pid
lock file = c:/Tools/Backup/rsyncd.lock
secrets file = c:/Tools/Backup/rsyncd.secrets
hosts allow = 
auth users = backuppc
strict modes = false
read only = true
list = false
[Fotos]
path = D:/Digital-Fotos/Fotos
comment = Fotos


rsyncd.secrets:
backuppc:


Any ideas??

Thanx,
Martin

[BackupPC-users] Rsyncd/Samba include/exclude

[Alan Orlič Belšak]

Hello,

probably this has been answered several times, but here I go again - as 
I found out, there is no way to backup Windows machines via Samba for 
some files only (like DOC, XLS, etc), but I was unable to find the 
solution how to do that via rsyncd. I don't like to backup the whole PC, 
only documents.

If somebody has a solution, I'll be more than happy.

Bye, Alan

It's almost certainly not rsyncd that is the hold up - next time it runs 
take a look a cpu load, disk activity and network activity - I'd be 
willing to bet that you're disk bound. Do you have rsync checksum 
caching enabled? It normally makes a big difference.

That's not a BackupPC issue. Your rsyncd is not running or there's a firewall
in between or the IP address is wrong or ...

Narrowing down a problem has to be done where the problem is, not where people
have to guess about just about everything.

I recommend that you test rsyncd from a terminal on another machine, 
instead of with BackupPC (to minimize the potential spots for error).

If rsyncd is configured properly and running, you should be able to 
issue this command to get a list of modules offered by the rsyncd server:

rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]::  (yes, 2 colons)

This assumes that you have set "list = true" for each of the modules
in the rsyncd.conf on the source server.

I think it is the default (see man page) because without the line "list

did you configure the rsyncd on the client side? the error looks like
that you have no running server.

Are you backing up linux client? If yes, please use rsync:

If the client is windows xp, please use rsyncd

Why? Rsyncd works perfectly on Linux, too.

Most people use rsync because they want (or need) an SSH tunnel, but  
this is not required by BackupPC.

I notice on the general status page that both clients have PIDs but that 
the client with network activity has a transfer PID. Does only one client

Does your rsyncd.conf file have a line like:

uid = someuser

This is the user that that the rsync daemon runs as.  Mine is set to be
my backup user.  I'm not sure what the default is, but if it's uid =
administrator, that might not give you enough rights to see everything.
 I'm pretty sure it needs to be run as someone who is in the "Backup
Operators" group.

Additionally, on my systems I found that some files were not readable by
the "Backup Operators" group.  That made it impossible for me to backup
those files until I fixed the problem.

I take it your rsyncd.conf contains a path specification
"f:/Alvina_PET/HR_Info". Apparently, rsyncd is interpreting
this as a relative path. You probably need to use something
like "/cygdrive/f/Alvina_PET/HR_Info" instead.

Hope that helps.

Holger

Am I the only one who has NO CLUE what he is talking about?
- What exactly is the 'this' that you are looking for?
- Who is the 'you' that you want to post something? (Joe???)
- What 'changes' need to be posted?

And if you wanted something from a particular 'Joe' that only you two
know about, why spam the entire list?

I am beginning to sympathize with Holger's frustrations with Backup
Central and people who think this is a topic-based forum rather than a
mailing list.

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsyncd over ssh

[Daniel Harvey]

Hi Jeffrey,

At the risk of spamming the list again, I apologise. I only joined the
list and the "forum" immediately before the post. And, I agree that I
*thought* "this is a topic-based forum rather than a mailing list" - I
went to www.backupcentral.com, selected the menu "Forums" and them "Open
Source BackupPC" - it looked like a forum to me. Now I know :-)

Anyway, the (mailing list) post I was referring to was 

http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/rsyncd-over-ssh-79117/

which relates to running BackupPC using rsync's "daemon" mode tunnelled
over SSH. 

I've since got Joe's modifications which enable this and I'll let you
know how I get on. FYI, the key issue for me is that I want to tunnel
over SSH, but am not happy to allow un-checked root access to the target
machine(s) - rsync's "daemon" mode tunnelled over SSH is a good balance.

Cheers,
Daniel.
