Re: [BackupPC-users] Recent change - Got fatal error during xfer (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \\*)

I reported this issue to this list about a month ago (5/10-5/13). There were changes to the security defaults in Samba 3.6 (see below). I was unable to get BackupPC (or more specifically, smbclient) to work using the option on either the command line or in smb.conf. I have added this information

[BackupPC-users] How to submit changes

I've added a BlackoutFulls config option to my local copy of BackupPC. This functions in a similar fashion to BlackoutPeriods but is only checked when BackupPC has determined that a full backup needs to be done (and was not requested by the user). I've configured my system so that incrementals are

I just upgraded my server from Ubuntu 11.10 to Ubuntu 12.04 and now BackupPC is failing on all hosts with: Backup failed on canton (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \\*) Anyone know what trivial / stupid thing I've missed? The smbclient (3.5.11) in Ubuntu 11.10 returns the exact same errors as

I've got an archive host defined and this script dies when it hits that host. Does anyone have an updated script that handles the archive host properly? What do you mean properly? If you want just skip archive host, see attached script. Or may be you want to add list of archive hosts to

[BackupPC-users] What does this BackupPC_tarPCCopy message mean

I'm following the directions in the manual to copy my BackupPC data to a larger disk. I am using the distribution-packaged install on Ubuntu Server 11.10, 3.2.1-1ubuntu1.1. When I execute cd /mnt/tempBackupPC; mkdir pc; cd pc; /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tar_PCCopy /var/lib/backuppc/pc |

[BackupPC-users] Using dd to copy the BackupPC data

The BackupPC manual says: The best way to copy a pool file system, if possible, is by copying the raw device at the block level (eg: using dd). Could someone give an example of how to do this? Can someone explain why the output file system doesn't get reduced to the size of the input file

Re: [BackupPC-users] Archive question

Why do I have to manually create the /var/lib/backuppc/pc/archive host directory? That's not where you would normally put the archive copies. More likely you would want them to go on another machine via an NFS mount, or to separate space where you would move to different media later. I had

[BackupPC-users] Archive question

I'm trying to setup offsite backups using the archive feature. My testing shows that the backup number is part of the archive file name and that generates a couple of questions I couldn't find answers to. Why do I have to manually create the /var/lib/backuppc/pc/archive host directory? If

[BackupPC-users] Background Queue

[BackupPC-users] Viewing or Searching compressed log files

I would like to grep the log files and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do that from the command line. Can someone help? I've tried zcat LOG.0.z | grep and bzcat LOG.0.z | grep both of which complain that the file isn't the proper format. Regards, Brad

[BackupPC-users] Scheduling Options, Scripts, and starting over

I'm new to BackupPC. I've been through most of the documentation and about 9 months of list archives. The question of restricting full backups to the weekends has come up a few times and I'm just wondering why the current blackouts can't be enhanced to provide two blackout schedules, one for

Re: [BackupPC-users] Scheduling Options, Scripts, and starting over

As for erasing the pool, that may depend on how you installed or which packaged version you have, but I think the current ones that split configs to /etc/* and the archive to /var/lib/* locations will handle a new empty archive automatically. Can you define empty? For example, is that no
