Hello List,
I have a problem with backuppc, which maybe you could help me to solve.
I am using rsyncd to perform the backups, and they work, unless there are very
large files (3GB or larger). In this case, they fail.
This is what I get on the backup machine:
...
create 660 106/109
Thanks Nils. The post certainly clears things up for me. I will try and
implement the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Anand Gupta

Only if your filesystem somehow has a 2 GB limit. I can use larger
files just fine on ext3.
All,
Up until very recently I have had BackupPC 3.0 working with my 1TB external
WD Mybook world edition device, which is connected to my LAN and which I
mount via cifs. I recently had to upgrade my machine to a newer version on
Linux (Mandriva 2009.0) and with that comes BackupPC 3.1.

How does your Mybook connect to your machine? Is it USB, Firewire, or eSATA?

Hi David,
Check your permissions on your backup folders. There is a chance that
your new installation create your BackupPC user and group with a
different numerical id than your previous install. If you do a ls -la
on /backups and get a number back instead of a user/group name that is

Hi,
I try to configure BackupPC to my firm with smb.
I have no problem with the full backup.
But when i create new folder with files, they are not saved with a incremental
backup, not always.
Some times, they are copied but not always.
How can i resolv this problem ?
Thanks
I'm not sure what the filesystem is. I suspect it is NTFS. I guess
whatever these drives come as.
I did try what Tino suggested and this is what happened:
[r...@dtwconsulting backups]# echo hello testfile
[r...@dtwconsulting backups]# ln testfile linkedfile
ln: creating hard link `linkedfile'

Is the top level directory symlinked or mounted where the packaged
backuppc install expects it?

The top level directory is mounted to /backups
There is no symlinking going on. I have changed the appropriate config to
point to /backups. This has been working like this for a few years now.

Ah ok,
I have copied the files from an another folder.
How can i tell to backuppc to check the create date of the file and not the
modification date ?
Thanks

You can't change the location in the config in pre-packaged versions.
There have been about a million discussions on this list

I don't think that is possible with the smb method.

As far as I know, you cannot. If you could, BackupPC would do it by
default.
Tino.
Tino,
Thanks for the info. I will look into whether or not the drive can be
mounted as NFS. I've never had to do that so will have to look into what it
will take to perform that.

Les,
I believe that under the Mandriva package we are allowed to change the
TopDir and it is in the config.pl file. When I originally started Backuppc
it was complaining that it could not create a hardlink under
/backups/pc/ and /backups/cpool. It wasn't looking at
/var/lib/backuppc. Even

That's not likely. When you install from source, the configuration
process modifies the code, embedding this location elsewhere. If you
don't re-run

I am seeing corrupted directory listings using BackupPC_tarCreate. One
