Hello,
After a longer downtime, my backuppc daemon came back online and
started a full backup of all hosts, which was quite
a resource-intensive process.
In 6.97 days, there'll be again a full backup of all hosts. I wonder
how I could go about distributing that over the period of the week
so tha
Hi Martin,
Sure. Take a look at

I start the backups with the option "full backup" manually, and then the
next full backup will be in 6,97 days ;-).
But I don't think, that the next full backup will be such an amount of
work load.
Are there many changing files? At my servers the changes of each server
are within 5 GB each. Bu

It's a reiserfs3 filesystem, which I have been using for as long as I
have been using backuppc. Unfortuantely, it doesn't use inodes in the
traditional way. However, when I ran an fsck.reiserfs3, I did not see
any errors like that that jumped out at me.
Whats more, if it were filling up all its re

http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/localhost.html) to run tar in a way that
would not allow the backuppc user to become root.
I tried wrapping tar up using the script in the documentation:

Even with dedicated machines, the memory usage still can grow to intractable
levels. If you're only dealing with a few tens of GB and a few million
files, it's not

Are you backing up a Windows client?
Under cygwin 1.5 rsync, there used to be problems with it hanging in
mid-backup.

Or if it is Linux/unix, could you have hit a sparse (dbm type) file that
appears large when you read it even though it does

Is there a reason you're using tar rather than rsync? I run rsyn
I don't think so, Les. I have been watching the backup as it runs (as
Tyler suggested earlier in the thread), and if I change the order of
the directories in RsyncShareName, the last file that gets backed up
changes, but it is the same file, whether during an incremental or
full.

Nope. All hosts are Debian Linux, The backup machine runs unstable.

Hm. You know, I thought I'd tried that. Maybe I left out the quotes. That
did the trick. Thanks!

Tar just seemed simpler.

Sorry to be banging on the list so much lately, but I've got another issue I
don't understand...
I've modified a copy of BackupPC_archiveHost, with the changes being:
- I'm piping output to gpg after compression and before splitting
- I want my archive filenames in this format: 0.$host.tar.

That's basically what I've done... the command that should run is:
BackupPC_tarCreate -t -h $host -n $bkupNum -s $share . | /bin/gzip
| /usr/bin/gpg -r $gpgUser --encrypt | /usr/bin/split -b 65 -
$outLoc/0.$host.tar$fileExt.
For some reason I'm getting stuff on that split error, though. I'll
Hi
i have a machine that have about 100GB of data to backup, via
ssh+rsync, but its network connection is about 1Mb, so it will take ages
to do even the first backup.
i already have on the backuppc server one old backup of
that machine, done via plain rsync (not backuppc).
Take the machine to the remote and pre-load from local???
