This works ok when I run tar just to a local file on the client: tar -cvf test.tar /opt/www. so it seems to be a problem with ssh and tar together. ski Ski Kacoroski wrote: Hi, I am backing up a linux server via tar and it consistently breaks on 330MB video file with: /opt/www/html/traini

[BackupPC-users] tar --one-file-system option not working

2005-08-30 Thread Marty
Using the --one-file-system option, the tar method fails to back up files in the target subdirectory of a mounted partition. It backs up directories without their files, unlike the rsync method using the --one-file-system option, which works as expected. I checked the log to verify that the tar

Hi, I know that backuppc uses hard links internally. However what I wanted to know is how/whether it handles hard links in a share that it's backing up and restoring. Will a restored version contain hard links as the original share did? Would it work if I added --hard-links to $Conf{RsyncArgs}?

2005-08-30 Thread Andy Evans
I would like to archive a backuppc client state on a given date. Hopefully this would allow me to restore the files from that archive sometime in the future. The only method I could think of was to create a zip or tar archive in restore options, then store it somewhere. The backuppc inter
