2017-03-23 Thread Craig Barratt
Steve, Yes, that's one of the major advantages of 4.x - the pool is now much easier to copy or backup. If you upgrade an existing 3.x installation then the hardlinks will still persist for the old backups (4.x is backward compatible - it knows how to view/restore 3.x backups). The 3.x backups wi

Steve, I agree this is a problem area for upgrading to 4.0 and it's the one place where some manual checking or updates may be necessary. Unfortunately it's hard to automatically split up $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} into $Conf{RsyncSshArgs} and $Conf{RsyncClientPath}. Also, $Conf{RsyncClientPath} is n

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC v4 -- pool backups easier?

2017-03-23 Thread Steve Palm
Hi, Simple question, I hope, but seeing the substantial differences "under the hood" on how BackupPC is handling things, no more hard links in particular, will this make it easier to backup the pool to other systems or tape? It seemed to me that one of the sticking points has always been the h

Rick, There are potential pitfalls upgrading using the native release tar.gz from an existing package manager installation - the package installer might make choices or enforce policies that configure.pl isn't aware of. That's the rsync_bpc version check. $Conf{RsyncBackupPCPath} is set to "/usr

Well, I have one host backing up, finally But I have to revisit the settings and see how to propagate them to the others in the right way. The essence, though, per my previous config, was that the RsyncSshPath was: $sshPath -q -x -l backuppc -c arcfour The RsyncClientPath was: nice -

[BackupPC-users] No files dumped?

2017-03-23 Thread Steve Palm
I'm seeing this on all the hosts so far, the first batch have all been Linux servers using an rsync backup method over ssh... My understanding of what the logs are telling me is that the connection closed. Maybe never really opened. I do see that my original ssh command configuration was lost d

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC v4 for Fedora / EPEL Update

2017-03-23 Thread Richard Shaw
I wanted to give a quick update on the status of BackupPC v4 for Fedora and EPEL 6 & 7. Currently I'm fighting a configuration problem with Apache and the C wrapper which allows BackupPC_Admin to run as suid. I think I have a solution but I haven't had time to test it. Even after I get a working

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC: can't run /usr/local/bin/ for version check

2017-03-23 Thread l, rick
Going from version 3 to 4.0 on Debian I've broken something as Backuppc will not start. Any attempt produces the error "BackupPC: can't run /usr/local/bin/ for version check; (Exec of /usr/local/bin/ --version failed" There are two bin directories alike, one "/etc/backuppc/bin" and second "/usr
