Re: [BackupPC-users] Inconsistent backup size

As I said in my previous email, I'd recommend using the poolCnt files since they accurately reflect what is being stored for each host. But it will take a bit more coding. You can look in some of the BackupPC utilities (eg: BackupPC_refCountUpdate) for examples of how to read the poolCnt files.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Inconsistent backup size

Hello, trying to make a script, which can count backup size, but without success yet. I can parse XferLOG, extract sizes, identify links, but after summary some backups have zero or almost zero size. Looks like this happens, when there is no initial backup (backup with id 0), where all files hav

Re: [BackupPC-users] Windows backups failing with special characters

OK, I'm (more) confused now. I thought the backup worked on other server (server2), because it was showing the same error, but in this case the backup continued and finished, as opposed to the orignal server (server1) backup that just aborts after the first offending file. Server2: LOG 2020-09-0

So, I am officially lost with additional errors popping up, i.e. bpc_path_refCountAll: can't read attrib file /data/backup/backuppc/pc/aaa.bbb.ccc/8240/inode/03/attrib52_75b800923eee9d3484169624f5b691fa Unfortunatly, I have no clue how to clean them up and/or force a true "Full" backup (means

Mariano, I believe the unix charset should always be utf-8. It's the dos charset that you should be changing. Craig On Wed, Sep 2, 2020 at 10:51 AM Mariano Aliaga wrote: > On Wed, Sep 2, 2020 at 2:20 PM Craig Barratt < > cbarr...@users.sourceforge.net> wrote: > >> Mariano, >> >> Yes, the tric

I don't know the answer, but googling led me to: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3546001/rsync-how-to-include-directories-but-not-files . So you could try including those -f options in $Conf{RsyncArgsExtra}. Craig On Fri, Aug 28, 2020 at 3:50 PM Taste-Of-IT wrote: > Hello, > > i use latest

Re: [BackupPC-users] Windows backups failing with special characters

Mariano, Yes, the trick is to figure out what the correct charset name is for the windows machine. You could use smbclient interactively to make checking it be easier (ie, just navigate to the directory containing the offending entry, and try listing that directory). Have you tried cp-1252

Re: [BackupPC-users] Windows backups failing with special characters

The "tar" errors are from smbclient. Unfortunately the output format of smb messages have changed many times over the years. I'm happy to accept PRs for detecting additional errors it reports if someone wants to submit something. As Jeff points out, rsync is a far better option. It has built i
