Re: [BackupPC-users] rsyncd on Windows XP Home
I'd suggest stripping down the config file to it's barest essentials, that way there is nothing extra to cause problems, the complaint is about the docs section which you probably aren't using. I have run into issues with some firewall software (Computer Associates Firewall causes me major grief on a couple laptops, but other than that rsyncd has been flawless) I have got a windows installer for the rsync service built that creates [?Drive] sections for each hard drive found on the system, has the option to open the required ports etc on the MS XP firewall, installs and starts the service with proper descriptions in the services panel, and proper location of the output files (which by default goes to C:/VAR) and will make it available as soon as I add a prompt for auth user/passwd (my current version has them hard coded for use on our office machines.) This should be all you need, you may want to change the read only setting, I like it because I don't have to do anything to restore a file to a machine, and since we are behind a decent firewall, the backuppc server is well locked down, and the rsyncd password is 32 characters generated by doing an md5sum on a jpeg that was handy, I'm not all that worried about it. Besides, the users are astonished when they call about losing a file and it "appears" back on their machine, good for keeping up the "Miracle Worker" image :) # use chroot = false max connections = 4 log file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.log pid file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.pid lock file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.lock [cDrive] path = C: comment = Entire C Drive auth users = backuppc secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets strict modes = false read only = false list = false # - Take Surveys.

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsyncd on Windows XP Home
I had problems making rsyncd work on XP pro. I ended up giving up and using Samba rather than rsyncd. After I got past the authentication problem with rsyncd the backup would eventually not finish for some reason that I could never track down. Samba did not work well until I added a list of files to exclude which looks like this: $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = [ '*/Cookies/*', '/BACKUP/*', '/backuppc/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Application Data/Adobe/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Application Data/Identities/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Application Data/Macromedia/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Application Data/Microsoft/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Application Data/Real/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Application Data/Talkback/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/History/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temp/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/NetHood/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/NetHood/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/PrintHood/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/PrintHood/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Recent/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Recent/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Templates/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/UserData/*', '/Documents and Settings/admin/*', '/Documents and Settings/Administrator/*', '/Documents and Settings/Administrator/*', '/Documents and Settings/All Users/*', '/Documents and Settings/All Users/*', '/Documents and Settings/Default User/*', '/Documents and Settings/Default User/*', '/Documents and Settings/DELL/*', '/Documents and Settings/LDAP/.', '/Documents and Settings/LocalService/*', '/Documents and Settings/LocalService/*', '/Documents and Settings/NetworkService/*', '/Documents and Settings/NetworkService/*', '/I386/*', '/Multimedia Files/*', '/My Downloads/*', '/My Music/*', '/ocs-ng/*', '/Program Files/*/*', '/QUARANTINE/*', '/QUARANTINE/*', '/RECYCLER/*', '/System Volume Information/*', '/Temp/*', '/temp/*', '/tmp/*', '/TMP/*', '/WINDOWS/*', '/WINNT/*', '/WUTemp/*', '*/openv/var/vnetd/*', '*.sys', '*/.bash_history', '*/*.dll', '*/*.DLL', '*/*.sys', '*/*.TMP', '*/*.tmp', '*/~*', '*/$*$', '*/4gl/Database/*.bin', '*/4gl/Database/*.bin', '*/4gl/Database/CardCnf.dat', '*/Cache/*', '*/DataStore/*.edb', '*/dllcache/*', '*/FOXUSER.DBF', '*/FOXUSER.FPT', '*/History.IE*/*', '*/ntuser.dat*', '*/NTUSER.DAT*', '*/parent.lock', '*/Recent/*.lnk', '*/ServicePackFiles/*', '*/System Volume Information/*', '*/Temporary Internet Files/*', '*/Thumbs.db', '*/UsrClass.dat.LOG', '*/UsrClass.dat', '*/*.exe', '*/*.EXE', '*/*.*_' ]; After I added the file exclusion list it has been working faithfully every day. Every time I look at a nd browse backups I get a really warm fuzzy that I have this info getting backed up. One other thing I changed is the number of full backups to keep. I set this up to look like this: $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [4, 4, 4, 2, 1, 1]; Make sure to read this part and see if you like how it is handling how many backups to keep. I *think* that it defaults to keeping one backup. Hope this helps, Eric Aaron Throckmorton wrote: I have a BackupPC installation running on Ubuntu Server 6.06 LTS.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Rsyncd on Windows XP
Finally got it figured out! There was a file in the .nx temp folder that did not have Administrator privileges.

Auth failed means your UserName and Passwd didn't match correctly. Do you really have those commented out in the config file? You can test for a working rsyncd manually using rsync from the backuppc box with a syntax like: rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]::module/ The double : indicates the protocol for a standalone rsync server and you should be prompted for a password. When you omit a destination on the command line you will just get a listing of files as the result if the connection suceeds. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Its the "strict modes = true" setting. If you leave it true then the file on the windows box HAS TO BE read only by the user running the rsyncd daemon, or the system service. I suggest you make strict modes = false for ease of use. See the excerpt from the rsyncd.conf file below. # # Does rsyncd ensure that the secrets file is read only by the # user running the process? If this is false then no check is # performed (useful for Win32 systems). However, you can change # this to "true" and make the secrets file READ ONLY by the user # running the rysncd process. If running from the command line # or upon login, this should be the user who is logged in. If # running as a Win32 service, then the SYSTEM account should be # the only account that can read the secrets file. # strict modes = false Also i think these should be changed $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/rsyncd', '/Documents and Settings']; #$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings']; to. $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['rsyncd', 'Documents and Settings']; #$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings']; ...because your rsyncd share is the root of the folder, you dont need a "/" in front of the top level folders. The rsyncd client software from the BackupPC Download site is quick, easy and optimized for backuppc and there is no necessity to use "cygdrive/c" etc etc. You can just use "C:" etc. Regards, Les - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

And if your rsyncd.conf is in the same directory as your rsyncd.secrets, then secrets file = rsyncd.secrets will also work. You can also place common lines for all modules in the global part of rsyncd.conf (just put them at the top of the file), like the hosts allow line, which will make it less likely to forget something. > What am I doing wrong?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Rsyncd on Windows XP
Hi, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/utils/backuppc shows it to be backuppc (2.1.2-2ubuntu5) I found this by typing "ubuntu dapper backuppc" into google ;) - remember, google is your friend Your other problem is that the path should look like this: [cDrive] path = /cygdrive/c comment = Entire Drive auth users = backuppc secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets hosts allow = 192.168.1.10 I'm not sure on the syntax of path = cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings because of the spaces - but I'm sure that should work as well?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Rsyncd on Windows XP
As I am totally lost now I decided to start over and make this simple using the generics. I am running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 and got backuppc from the package manager (dont know the version, how do I find it?) I have the backuppc user in the administrators group and the rsyncd.secrets file shows that user and password. The rsyncd.conf file on the XP box is standard from the download of http://rsync.samba.org/ . use chroot = false log file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.log pid file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.pid lock file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.lock [docs] path = c:/Documents and Settings comment = Documents and Settings strict modes = false secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets read only = true list = false [cDrive] path = c: comment = Entire Drive auth users = backuppc secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets hosts allow = 192.168.1.10 strict modes = false read only = true list = false I have a pc config file that looks like this: $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd'; $Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['docs']; $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/rsyncd', '/Documents and Settings']; When I run a full backup I get this: 2006-08-22 21:33:23 full backup started for directory docs 2006-08-22 21:33:23 Got fatal error during xfer (auth required, but service docs is open/insecure) 2006-08-22 21:33:28 Backup aborted (auth required, but service docs is open/insecure) What am I doing wrong? I am tired of reading endless pages of dead ends and not finding any answers. I hope one of you can disect my problem and shed some light on this for me. Thanks --- "Justin R.

[BackupPC-users] Rsyncd on Windows XP
Hello list, I have successfully backed up my WinXP boxes with SMB but now would like to use Rsyncd due to the ability to backup changed files. (Thats half the reason for a backup isnt it?) No where can I find exactly how to do this. I got the Rsyncd cgwin files and the service is running on the XP box. Now how do I set it up to back up the entire C: and D: drives with the exclude options? Do I have to share out the C: and D: drives? Do I have to have a config.pl for the XP box on the backuppc server or does the rsyncd.config do the trick? Any detailed documentation would be outstanding! Thanks Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
