[BackupPC-users] Data Directory

2007-02-28 Thread Ludovic Gele
Hi, I've install backuppcpc on debian stable, and I would like to change the data directory location. I've try dpkg-reconfigure backuppc, and read the /etc/backuppc/config.pl, but I've found nothing. I think I (maybe) can do a symbolic link, but I'm not sure that's a clean way. Thanks in advance

[BackupPC-users] Webdav and Amazon S3

2007-02-28 Thread Clarke Christiansen
Is it possible to configure BackupPC to look at a WebDav folder for config? I have been looking into davfs2 which allows you to mount a WebDav folder into your file system, but would prefer to do direct if possible. Has anyone investigate how one might store the backups on Amazon's S3? --

Hello again list! I'm running into some trouble with excluding directories in rsyncd.conf on a windows machine. The machine in question is dying quickly, and rarely stays "alive" for more than 30 minutes or so. Because of that, I'm trying to slowly increment what is being backed up to the debian

Have you tried escaping the spaces with a \ ?  Like: '/Application\ Data/' Not sure if that will work, but it sounds like it's worth a shot. brien Jim McNamara wrote: Hello again list! I'm running into some trouble with excluding directories in rsyncd.conf on a windows machine. The mach

The modified parts of the files now look like: $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '/Administrator/' => [ '' ], '/Application\ Data/' => [ '' ], '/All\ Users/' => [ '' ], '/Default\ User/' => [ '' ] }; and on windows: exclude = "/Administrator/" "/All\ Users/" "/Application\ Data/"

It sounds a lot like you've hit some bugs in cygwin/rsync/smb bugs? from the faq: Smbclient is limited to 4GB file sizes. Moreover, a bug in smbclient (mixing signed and unsigned 32 bit values) causes it to incorrectly do the tar octal conversion for file sizes from 2GB-4GB. BackupPC_tarExt

I did, and unfortunately it made no difference. Here is the rsyncd exclude info I based my file on - # --exclude "*.o" would exclude all filenames matching *.o # --exclude "/foo" would exclude a file in the base directory called foo # --exclude "foo/" would exclude any directory called foo. #

Jim, Here is a snippet from my exclude list, which works using rsyncd on a Win2k box: /Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/* The spaces are not a problem, for me at least. But, I did have considerable difficulty getting rsyncd.conf to behave when I placed the sh

The error was found to be syntax on my config.pl. Carl has a good suggestion on it, and Les Stott also helped off list. The problem was in the way I was passing the excludes to backuppc. Rather than blocking the directory "Administrator" within the share module [documents], I was trying to block t

All versions of Windows have a limit of 250-ish characters maximum for a full path, including the filename and extension, regardless of file system. I'm not aware of a lower limit imposed by the file system or OS, but it's likely related. Are you running Unicode-16 character set or UTF-16 on
