im not too clear on this so i want to ask for a bit more clarity if i have 10 clients and each client has a file called file1.jpg and all 10 of these files are absolutely identical, does backuppc have just 1 copy of this file in the pool? what if the files are exactly the same exept the timestamp

[BackupPC-users] Problem With RsyncClientPath Went Away

2007-12-14 Thread Jon Forrest
Last week I described a problem in which my host-specific setting for RsyncClientPath was not overriding the server setting on a BackupPC 3.1 server. I'm happy, but mystified, to report that the problem appears to have gone away on its own. I didn't do anything other than restart the web server so

Hmm, I just sent a post to the group and I afterwards realized that I could be reporting a bug that's already been solved. From the changelog for 3.1.0beta0: * Fixed bug in rsync incrementals that happens on particular file names when a file being backed up fails in both rsync phases. Reporte

[BackupPC-users] FW: Pooling files from differnet Directories

2007-12-14 Thread Mark Best
I have some questions about pooling and rsync checksum. Let's suppose I have two servers Server1 and Server2. 1) For redundancy and performance reasons I have the two servers syncing data between each other. 2) Server1's file structure is: C:\server1\backup.tiff and it syncs using DFS to

you must stop the sql database before backuping it up OR you must export data from it. you could put a client command and used a shared key ssh session to launch a script to stop mysql before the backup and start it with the post backup script. back to the original question. you could create ano

Let us get this straight. You are making local flat-file backups of your database, and then the flat file backups are getting backed up by BackupPC? This is the way that it should be done. There's no point backing up the actual database files unless the database is broucht offline in a way that'

The /var/log/httpd/error_log file would have additional details. If it is a file permission error, when you are running under mod_perl, the httpd process must run as the same user as backuppc. This may cause problems if you have any other web sites on the same machine. It may be easier to run
