I'm getting an odd ping error and looking for some help.
I'm getting this on only one machine:
* Last status is state "idle" (no ping) as of 11/19 14:22.
* Last error is "ping too slow: 1.339msec (threshold is 0msec)"
Even though the config.pl is:
$Conf{PingMaxMsec} = 30;
I've tried restarting
Hi,
I previously used the BackupFilesExclude option set on some hosts to
exclude a temporary directory from one of my modules:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'home' => ['/tmp'],
};
This worked fine, resulting in this in the XferLOG file:
Connected to module home

in theory you could restore a windows install this way BUT the windows boot
load may be corrupt and would need a "fdisk /mbr" run from an NTFS aware DOS
prompt or something similar, which cant be done with backuppc. also,
windows can be a real pain to bring back to life after any kind of system

Hi,
I am trying to work out how to get email notifications working.
I have configured sendmail to work, so that I can type
/usr/sbin/sendmail and can send an email, but I can't seem to get
backup pc to send one.
Any pointers?

Hi Rich,
Yes - I had:
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [2];
but that didn't help. I also had to do:
$Conf{TrashCleanSleepSec} = 86400;
It seems if you don't do this, backuppc wakes up every 5 minutes between
each check of the trash directory.
This still means my hd's are spun up twice a day, not once, as I

Whoa.. I'll definitely exclude the pagefile.sys and c:\windows. Good tip.
Is there truly no way to restore a windows client though? I mean, it's not
the end of the world because Windows needs a fresh install every so often
anyway, but if you really needed to surely there would be a way to do it.
I've been using this script, written such that backuppc can parse the
output.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Net::Ping;
die "usage: $0 port hostname\n" unless(@ARGV == 2);
my $serv = shift @ARGV;
my $host = shift @ARGV;
my $p = Net::Ping->new("tcp", 30);
$p->hires();
if($serv =~ /^\d+/)

The perl module that BackupPC uses (File::RsyncP, I think) needs to
support whatever arguments you specify for rsync. I'm not sure if
--partial is supported or not, but that could be a potential stumbling
block.

yes! i have run it in a test environment on real hardware in nexenta, which
is opensolaris meets ubuntu.
works very well. be sure to turn on ZFS compression and turn OFF backuppc
compression. ZFS compresses much more efficiently(CPU wise) and I get much
higher transfer rates this way.

Hi.
I've mounted a network folder on backuppc's server.
I've set up permissions in order to have full access to this folder by
backuppc user.
If I try to do a backup using the web interface, It doesn't work. In the log
are reported a lot of these lines:
2007-11-19 09:01:26 BackupPC_link got erro
17 matches
