BackupPC full dump, with patch which removed --ignore-
BackupPC 3.1.0 has been released on SF.net.
This release contains a few new features and bug fixes.
Some of the new features are:
* Added new script BackupPC_archiveStart that allows command-line
starting of archives.
* Added sorting by column feature to host summary table in CGI
interface.
I have two installs of BackupPC on CentOS 4.5 which all of a sudden stopped
working with can't find Compress::Zlib errors which causes the backup to
fail.
Both systems have been running for almost a full year without issue until
just the last few days.
I was able to fix one install a few days ago
nexenta is alive and well. in fact, check this out.
http://www.nexenta.com/corp/
nexenta is not advancing at the pace of ubuntu though. i like the ubuntu
system so nexenta is great for me. if i were you and you were not tied to
ubuntu then you might consider opensolaris or solaris10. solaris10

Sounds reasonable... What did you do about the attrib file? I noticed
there is a file called 'attrib' in each of the pool directories with some
binary data in it.

Using version 2.1.3 I am running into an error.
I migrated my backuppc onto a new file server. From fedora to ubuntu. The
move was easy and the backups are running fine again.
When I go to dump a gz file using an archive host, I get these in the logs

I asked that very question a couple of weeks ago!
In my undrstanding, the answer was thus:
An incremental backup relies on modification datestamp to know what to back
up, and the method is not infallible. Depending on the transfer method, it
can miss the odd update. Also, it gets more and more

I ues a backup system before that had a "incremental forever" backup policy.
The first "incremental" was really a full, and after that, like BackupPC
with rsync, it scanned for changes, and only backedup what it needed to.
Unless you forced it, you never did (or needed to) do a full backup again.

Hi all -
Likely a stupid question, but is it safe to remove the --ignore-times
rsync option in the BackupPC config.pl file? When I've done rsync
backups before with simple scripts, I've never used that option, and
have yet to land in hot water because of it. While in an ideal world

I mount the 'target' directory directly on the default $TopDIR though it
does work by changing the $TopDIR. i have done this on debian and ubuntu.

What kind of specs does your server have (besides running ZFS)? That is,
processor, memory, etc.
I've got a P-III 500Mhz with 512MB RAM as my backup server. It also is my
file server (I want to split those into separate machines, but I can't right
now), with about 250GB of data. (Most of that i

you can certainly change $TopDIR, but you will have to you LVM and

I believe just changing $TopDIR isn't going to work as
With rsync, the time required to do a backup depends as much on the number
of files as the total size of the data. For example, backing up an email
server with 20GB in 2 million files will take much longer than backing up
10 2GB isos.(*)
So "I backed up X GB in Y minutes" is meaningless without
I backup about 6-7Gb during a full backup of one of my sco unix servers
using rsync over ssh and it takes under an hour.
4-5Gb on an very old unix machine using rsync on an nfs mount takes just
over an hour.
full backups of my laptop is about 8Gb and takes about 15minutes though it
is on gigabit
