Hi,
I got the following error message when try to backup data from disk to tape.
The tape size is 72G. The total amount of data that select around 63G. I am
using compression (gzip). However the tape backup works under 40G. Here are
the error messages:
gzip: stdout: No space left on device
All,
I've recently begun to BackupPC on my network, but I've run into an
error on one of the machines. About 5 minutes into the backup process
the box in question errors out with the following according to the
BackupPC error log:
full backup started for directory /
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x

Did you just try it?
I noticed the same thing on Fedora Core, but both versions of the same

Thanks for the script but it seems to me that our Linux distributions are
too different.
In my installation when I look at /etc/apache2/conf.d there is link to the
file /etc/backup/apache.conf that says:
AuthUserFile /etc/backuppc/htpasswd
I added manually one user to /etc/backuppc/htpasswd fil

Whooops, those of course do not match. Because my script was for my
setup at work while I was actually checking my home setup for the
first file :-)
Just make sure those match and you are good.

In my installation I look at /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf and I see :
AuthUse
Thanks a lot that was the solution.
If I grep the usernames from passwd file how do I add the password?

/etc/shadow is quite different from the one in /etc/backuppc/htpasswd.

Would certainly be easiest if your users already have Linux accounts
on your network. Then you can just grep their usernames out of the
password file and put it into the htpasswd used by BackupPC. Run
that in a cron job
Hi,
I have configured Backuppc and it works ok. Now, I will like that every user
can manage their backups but I can't login as normal user.
The documentation says: "Normal users can only access information specific
to their host. They can start/stop/browse/restore backups."
How can I
Thanks for your reply Kurt,
I am using Windows but I have managed to get this working and as it is a
backup which I will only be doing once every blue moon I have done it by using
clientalias and doing the backup manually through the web interface after I
verify the mapping is correct etc. Wh
