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
I'm get xfer errors on long path/filenames. total length is over 100 chars.
Is there a limit on the total path/filename size ???
Example error:
Read error: Connection reset by peer opening remote file
\bjsimon\ABCD\svn-sandbox\branches\firmware\P20-NiceBigProject-2\F1234.humongous-mutation\proj
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

I do excludes on things like that, using a '?' in place of the spaces. So
for example:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude

Hey forum and Ralf,
I did the tar reinstall with version 1.4, but I'm still have the
problem, the lastest status that I got from the backuppc is:
Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/portal/XferLOG.0.z, modified

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
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.

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
perhaps the leading "/"s are causing it not to match? Have you tried
just
'Administrator/'

I'm running BackupPC v3x and have had no issues with regard to doing backups
both rsync for Linux and rsyncd from Windows machines.
I'm am having issues however, with doing restore opperations.
I have a Windows 2000 server which I having been successfully backing up
every day and I want to restore
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.

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

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?
