[Bug 497732] Re: Tar exited with error 512 () status

2012-06-30 Thread Neal McBurnett
** Description changed:

+ A default install of backuppc produces fails on an hourly basis like
+ this:
+ 
+  Backup failed on localhost (Tar exited with error 512 () status)
+ 
+ because it is trying to back up /etc and several files there are not
+ readable by the user which is doing the backup (id backuppc).
+ 
+ Workaround: you can either ignore the failures via the --ignore-failed-
+ read option to tar, or grant superuser privileges to backuppc and do the
+ backup via sudo as described in comment #15.

[Bug 497732] Re: Tar exited with error 512 () status

2012-02-13 Thread Wayne Law
Just installed 10.04 LTS on a new box and had the exact same problem.
The following seems to fix this error.

In the localhost.pl file located in /etc/backuppc change the
tarClientCmd from

$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName'
. ' --totals';

to

$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName
--totals';

in the sudoers file located in /etc add the following

backuppc ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/tar

I am assuming you are still using the default user backuppc and this
will allow backuppc to run sudo in the /bin/tar directory without a
password.

Seemed to work ok for me.

/Wayne

[Bug 497732] Re: Tar exited with error 512 () status

2011-11-14 Thread Jim Patterson
This seems to be a very nasty bug to me. Anyone installing backupc and
expecting a no hassle backup of 'localhost' will be in for a shock, as
the default tar arguments simply won't work under the default 'backuppc'
user. There will always be at least a few files that don't give world-
read access. What's worse is that backuppc will just keep trying to do
its first full backup, trashing performance on that pc.

Including --ignore-failed-read as a default argument to tar seems to be
a simple and effective fix. If users do want a full backup including
protected files and take steps to do so e.g. run as 'sudo', it will have
no effect.

Yes but those permission errors mean you cant access those files what
about running with sudo.

[Bug 497732] Re: Tar exited with error 512 () status

2010-02-22 Thread Marcelo Fernandez
Well, to avoid the error state in backuppc I added --ignore-failed-
read to the tar command in localhost.pl [1]:

$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName'
. ' --totals --ignore-failed-read';

The fact is backuppc makes backup of localhost under backuppc system
user, not a sudoer one, not root (see the comment in localhost.pl...). I
don't know if this is right or not, but it's good to know that those
files (passwd, shadow, group, etc.), aren't copied in the process.

 There is a directory  /var/lib/backuppc/log and a file LOG but no xferlog.
I don't think it gets that far.

Dear BackupPC

Your PC (localhost) has not been successfully backed up for 14616.3 days.
Your PC has been correctly backed up 1 times from 0.1 to 14616.3
ago.  PC backups should occur automatically when your PC is connected
to the network.

If your PC has been connected for more than a few hours to the
network during the last 14616.3 days you should contact IS to find
out why backups are not working.

Otherwise, if you are out of the office, there's not much you can
do, other than manually copying especially critical files to other
media.  You should be aware that any files you have created or
changed in the last 14616.3 days (including all new email and
attachments) cannot be restored if your PC disk crashes.

Regards,
BackupPC Genie
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net

Logs contain dpkg messages from installation, mail logs and two entries in
popularity-contest.

Any suggestions?
