You're on the 'master' - the backup server. The -h is how you specify which
host you want to do a restore of.
I should have been more clear about what BackupPC_tarCreate gives you - it
outputs a tar stream, which you then need to pipe or redirect into a file.
So something like:
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h hostname -n -1 -s /var/backup/
employees.sql > employees.tar
Then run 'tar tvf employees.tar' to see if you actually have the file(s)
you're looking for. 'tar xvf employees.tar' will unpack the tarfile. There's
probably GUI ways to do this, but there are so many of them and they change
so often I can't say what to do.
The point of this exercise is to make sure you can get your files out.
Verify that you actually have your files. After that point you can worry
about fancy things like restoring files into place.
Personally, I don't allow the backup server to restore files into place.
Makes me nervous to allow the backup server to clobber files on the client
side.
It's only a couple of commands to capture the tar stream on the server side,
send it across the wire with 'netcat', then capture it on the other side
with 'netcat' and pipe the result to tar and unpack the files.
Here's a bit of documentation I wrote up a while ago on restoring files
across the wire. This is good to know because restoring files in place may
not always work for one reason or another. there may be some formatting
brokenness since I copied it as plain text out of a wiki.
===
When restoring files from backuppc, it often happens that you want to
restore many files, and don't want to download them from the web interface,
due to limitations of bandwidth or file handling capability. For example,
some operating systems have limits on how big the files may be, and some
software may not operate on files larger than a certain size (4GB .zip
files, for example).
To bypass the user interface, use the BackupPC_tarCreate command on the
command line.
$ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate --help
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate version [unknown] calling

The following single-character options are accepted:
With arguments: -e -h -n -p -r -s -b -w

Required options:
-h host host from which the tar archive is created
-n dumpNum dump number from which the tar archive is created
A negative number means relative to the end (eg -1
means the most recent dump, -2 2nd most recent etc).
-s shareNameshare name from which the tar archive is created
Other options:
-t print summary totals
-r pathRemove path prefix that will be replaced with pathAdd
-p pathAdd new path prefix
-b BLOCKS BLOCKS x 512 bytes per record (default 20; same as tar)
-w writeBufSz write buffer size (default 1048576 = 1MB)
-e charset charset for encoding file names (default: value of
$Conf{ClientCharset} when backup was done)
-l just print a file listing; don't generate an archive
-L just print a detailed file listing; don't generate an
archive
You will need to become the backuppc user on the backup server.
To find the backup number (dumpNum), look at the web interface or in
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/ and see the timestamps on the number
directories.
Some examples of usage
This will take the last backup (number -1), the '/' share thereof, and the
'/etc' subdirectory from that share, and redirect the resulting tar stream
into a file called /var/tmp/host_example_com-etc.tar
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -n -1 -h host.example.com -s / /etc
> /var/tmp/host_example_com-etc.tar
This example takes everything ('/') from the 'docs' share, and streams it to
netcat, where it is directed at 'server' (which hopefully has a
corresponding netcat process listening for the data).
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -n -1 -h host.example.com -s docs /
| nc server
On the 'server' side of the above example, a command like this would recieve
the data and dump it into the current
Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC - restore not restoring file
The -h host is the hostname of the client that has been backed up as if there
are multiple backups of hosts with the same file it
needs to specify which one.
So for example say you want to pull back share of /etc from a host I suspect
you're looking to do something alone the lines of:
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h clientserver25 -n -1 -s /etc / >
/tmp/etc.tar
So in this -h clientserver25 refers to the name of a client you've already
backed up that you wish to restore a tar file from
as you may have countless clients with the same files and share names.
-n -1 refers to the most recent backup copies of files be they incrementals or
otherwise. You don';t need to worry about
exact paths within the backups taken, Backuppc will figure that out for you,
all you need to do is tell it to grab files/folders from
either a specific numbered backup or (using a negative value) a copy taken
relative to the most recent.
-s is the share name as specified in that client's config. This is coming from
$Conf{TarShareName} = '/etc'; or equivalent for
the host you wish to restore from. The next forward slash means everything
within that share and then redirect to a file as default is stdout.
The documentation could probably use a few typical usage examples and man pages
for the command line tools
like this to save a bit digging around in archives of this list.
Hope that helps

[BackupPC-users] Backuppc restore freezing
I'm using ubuntu across 4 different computers in my network - one of which runs backuppc. Anything over 3-4 files seems to cause bakuppc to freeze. Right now I'm actually trying to restore an entire file system to a computer, but I've noticed the same issue occur trying to restore 4 items in a download directory to a separate computer, no less than 30mb total. What I observe using sudo iftop and sudo htop is my server jumps to uploading 50mb/s for several minutes to the designated computer, and then dropping all connection. On top, I see at the same time of the drop, the process stops using the CPU and process up time just pauses and doesn't change after hours. Thus, on the web GUI it looks like the process is running, through htop it looks like the process has frozen. The systems hardware should not be limited enough to cause such freeze ups.

My tests:
1*/ The command line works and i have all my files (for example) :
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zipCreate -h localhost -c 5 -n -1 -s
/etc . etc.zip
2*/ A direct restore with Rsync share works for all (many files /
directories) and also when i select juste one file from BackupPC GUI
backup browse.
3*/ If i change the stderr -- 0 from the file lib/BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm :

I have one more question. Now i am trying to change the storage location to a
network drive. I mounted that network drive and modified the $Conf{TopDir}. I
also moved the files to that share. But when i restart the backuppc i get some
errors saying,
Can't create a test hardlink between a file in /media/test/pc and
/media/test/cpool. Either these are different file systems, or this file
system doesn't support hardlinks, or these directories don't exist, or there is
a permissions problem, or the file system is out of inodes or full. Use df, df
-i, and ls -ld to check each of these possibilities.
Quitting...
Is it possible to use network drive to store backuppc files ? If possible how
can i do that?
Please help me on this.
Thank you!

The filesystem has to support hard links and be writable by the
backuppc user, so nfs should work - but there is so much disk activity
that it is generally better to add the drives to the system running
backuppc.Try making the same link from the command line as the
backuppc user and you might get a better error message about the
actual problem.

I have noticed that, when restoring it provides the latest backup only. Is it possible to restore to some previous dates using backuppc (not the latest backup) ? When you restore, you click on browse files for that node? Above all the shares and files, there is a block of mostly text and some special things. One of these things is a box to select the backup which you want to browse/restore, the other is a link to the history of the current folder. Both can be used to select a certain back-version and restore from that. And if you check the node's detailed status page and see the list of backups, the number in front of each backups line is actually a link to browse/restore that specific version. It leads to the same as browse files and then selecting a version. Have fun, Arnold signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC restore???
Ok, we have BackupPC version 3 installed on a few servers throughout our company. Recently one of the servers went down. We have been using rsync to backup the BackupPC'c data directory onto a USB drive. I'm just wondering is it possible to restore this data over a fresh install of BaclupPC on another server? I know that I will probably need the /etc/BackupPC and the /usr/local/share/BackupPC directory's to do this and have copied them over my fresh install of BackupPC, but it will not see the old backups. It can see however all the hosts that I was backing up, but says that they have never been backed up by this new install (which is true). Can anyone help me???

[BackupPC-users] Backuppc restore problem
Hi all. I'm new to the list, but i have a very important question. I've set up a backup server with backuppc and till yesterday was woring very well. Yesterday it had a porblem with the raid card (3ware) and it lost the root partition...don't ask me why...but it happened (we're at the moment searching a replacement). But untill we find a new server, i wanted to restore a backup that i made with backuppc on the same server but on another partition. I've installed a minimal linux configuration, installed backuppc, configured backuppc to get the datas from the other partition and then make a tar file of the whole / dir. It made it, but when i tried to install that backup on the server, it gave me problems aboout some files not found: tar: ./sbin/e2label: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/findfs': No such file or directory ./sbin/fsck.ext2 tar: ./sbin/fsck.ext2: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/e2fsck': No such file or directory ./sbin/fsck.ext3 tar: ./sbin/fsck.ext3: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/e2fsck': No such file or directory ./sbin/ifup tar: ./sbin/ifup: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/ifdown': No such file or directory ./sbin/mke2fs tar: ./sbin/mke2fs: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/mkfs.ext3': No such file or directory ./sbin/mkfs.ext2 tar: ./sbin/mkfs.ext2: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/mkfs.ext3': No such file or directory ./sbin/tune2fs tar: ./sbin/tune2fs: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/findfs': No such file or directory So i couldn'd do a full restore...i had to install everything new and copy the confs. Why these hard link errors? Is there a special tar command to use? Thanks for the advices. Pier - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[BackupPC-users] Backuppc restore failed.. huh?
Hey all,
OK got a new error for you. Today I wanted to restore something for the
first time.. and wouldn't you know it. Errors.. no restore happening.
What I tried to do:
I back up localhost to localhost (another drive, same machine).
Now as a test I wanted to restore /var/log/uucp.log. A 0byte file.
I tell it to restore directly to the machine localhost.
Result in the log file:

$Conf{SshPath} = '/usr/bin/ssh -p 1234';
(yes we run sshd on another port)
$tarPath is just /bin/tar as usual.. $host is localhost..

Yes, an archive with one file is created - you can see some of the
archive contents in ascii, but pipe it into od -x so see it all.

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/etc'];

I would guess $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} is wrong. What is
it set to?

$Conf{SshPath} needs to be just the executable. What I suspect
is happening is that BackupPC trying to run the program
/usr/bin/ssh -p 1234, not /usr/bin/ssh, since it breaks up the
command into arguments before substituting variables. Try moving
the -p 1234 from $Conf{SshPath} to $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd}.
By the way, if you restarted BackupPC it should complain that
$Conf{SshPath} is not a valid executable and refuse to start.
