Hi, I'm running into problems by using backuppc with dhcp clients which are using a different subnet then the backuppc server. (It's not possible to use backuppc server and clients in the same subnet in this case. DNS Server doesn't accept DynamicDNS entries.)
Error: Backup Process don't start because of ping fails. "Pings to sec43-dyn27 have failed 550 consecutive times." I have customize the NmbLookupFindHostCmd variable in config.pl and using the program nbtscan to get netbiosnames. $Conf{NmbLookupFindHostCmd} = '/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_get_HostIP $host'; content: #!/bin/sh test ! -z "$1" || { echo "keinen HOST angegeben" ;exit 1;} SEARCH="$1" FILE='/tmp/pclist.txt' /usr/sbin/nbtscan -s : subnet1 > $FILE /usr/sbin/nbtscan -s : subnet2 >> $FILE /usr/sbin/nbtscan -s : subnet3 >> $FILE /usr/sbin/nbtscan -s : subnet4 >> $FILE IP=`grep -i $SEARCH $FILE | cut -d ":" -f1` echo "$IP $SEARCH" output is (example): 192.168.1.1 sec43-dyn27 If I start a backup from the console as backuppc user <BackupPC_dump -i sec43-dyn27> then everything is fine. But if I perform a backup from the webfrontend then nothing happens besides the increasing of ping failure counter. Any suggestions?? Which programs will be startet in which order when I perform the backup from the webfrontend??? Thanks in advance. Heiko btw: If I set the variable "PingCmd" to $Conf{PingCmd} = '/bin/true' then I got the same failure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
