Hi,
i'm using latest stable BackupPC to backup my local system.
All is working fine for months and now without chaning anything
BackupPC emails me with "administrative attention needed" info:
The following hosts had an error that is probably caused by a
misconfiguration. Please fix these hosts:
I am using backuppc to ssh to a remote host, and use rsync for the
backups. Before the backup, I have backuppc run a script on the remote
host to manipulate some database files. It appears that the script is
excuted, but I keep getting a message in the backuppc logs that the
script failed. I though

BackupPC::Lang::fr - on Ubuntu that should be
/usr/share/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/Lang/fr.pm.

Nexenta 2 alpha is available for download. It is based on ubuntu 8.04.
Backuppc3 is available in the repos and backuppc3.1 is installable from
debian etch. The only issue is that there are some broken dependancies with
samba so I had to built

best practices says that a backup device should be independant of the
devices it is backing up. dont run backuppc on your webserver for
production if you plan on backing up the webserver. also, apache is pretty
secure if that is what you are running, so as long as your havent broken
that security

Ok, we discovered (and meanwhile I saw it on my systems) when doing
backuo with rsync the first full backup will take several days until
finished.
Once this is done, every following backup consumes much less bandwith,
so it succeeds within 24hours.
But what happens to
It's because my only Linux system on the network is the Web server. It's not
a problem to back itself up on a local hard drive.
The problem I see is that the whole Linux system can be under attack and all
the hard drives could be compromised (or even wiped out).
Also I am still not very comfortable

Hello,
I use BackupPC on Ubuntu 8.04 in French.
I would like to change a few phrases but I can not find the translation file.
Perl sources are in English.
Someone knows where to locate the translation?
Thanks.

Hello,
When we add a new PC with ssh/rsync transfer method, at the first
time, we must accept the "public key" and then, we must type "yes" at the
question :
---
The authenticity of host 'coba (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 6f:7f:45:99:59:02:15:c

Hi,
I've set up $EMailUserDestDomain to '@foo.bar', but it seems like it
doesn't get appended.
Running '/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]',

But if I try '/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u user', I

Hi all,
Ok, this is not directly a backuppc problem, but I can't find an answer
anywhere... My backuppc will not run because when it pings the other
computers on the network it does not receive the correct ip for the netbios
name.
For example, I have one machine named 'gary' with a static ip of

Interesting. I'll have to see if there's an RPM for my CentOS 5 system.

Why is it closing? Are you using keepalives? Is one of the hosts going down?

I've just setup my first BackupPC server which for the most part works great

However, I'm having problems with the BackupFilesOnly setting...
Basically, I've got three directories to backup two of which don't have spaces

Hi,
I am using ssh tunnels to backup machines which are connected to the
internet. The transfer is either rsync or rsyncd However, I encounter
several issues with this configuration, in particular:

if you have rsync 3 on both client and server, backuppc(via CPAN file-rsync)
will infact get to take advantage some of the rsync 3 benefits.
anything that does not require a flag on the rsync command is there
(file-rsync does not pass any rsyncv3 flags).

Under /data/BackupPC/pc/$host there are nnn(an integer) directories

not too suprising if using rsync. rsync will use about 100Bytes per file
for the file list, and then about that much again during the transfer of
files and checksum. I would guess that you are over 1GB of ram just for
that.
Additionally, having more ram will allow linux to do a lot more caching
