Hi all,
i've installed BackupPC 3.2.0.
It works very well!
I'm trying to do a remote ftp server backup.
The ftp server is a internet site; i've ftp access to manage all site files.
My aim is to backup this site.
So, i create a new host, and set:
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} - the full ftp address
$Conf
Tried again, running it...
Here the last log lines:
Sending csums, cnt = 0, phase = 1
Child is sending done
Got done from child
Got stats: 3579597837 204684981 75895600 0 ('errorCnt' =>
0,'ExistFileSize' => 0,'ExistFileCnt' => 0,'TotalFileCnt' =>
0,'ExistFileCompSize' => 0,'TotalFileSize' => 0)
You can't directly backup an ftp host.
You could:
1) do a pre-backup script to mount the ftp site using your favorite method,
and a post-backup script to dismount it. (Dan answered this to me some time
ago)
2) Or via cron you could do wget and backup the local folder with backuppc

I'm still working on it.
Now I tried running the same backup WITHOUT tunneling through SSH, the
results are exactly the same.
What I now was wondering about is that thing about the rsync protocol
(30 vs. 28). Can anybody help me in this?
Connected to mail.omvsa.ch:873, remote version 30
Negotia
Still doing trials, I checked both Linux and Windows boxes what version
of rsync they run.
Both tell me:
rsync version 3.0.5 protocol version 30
So why is the negotiated protocol "version 28" and not "30"?
Could this be the actual problem?

There is a gateway somewhere, but I don't recommend it because it makes

What I would like is a email containing a list of files that were actually
copied - this would be very useful for Incremental backups.
I've looked at the docs but not found if this is possible or not.

hi all,
here is the description of the "problem":
if my backuppc compresses the files in the pool and I archive an host
requiring that the archive is compressed, backuppc does the
decompression for extracting the data of the pool and then compress it
again for write it to the archive file.

Hi all:
For the upcoming 3.2 release is anything being down to reap zombie
processes?
Currently if you have multiple shares being backed up on a single
host, a share is backed up and the child process is just abandoned as
far as I can tell. This leads to a bunch of zombies being generated.
