Re: [BackupPC-users] tarExtract: Unexpected end of tar archive

2021-07-02 Thread Phil Kennedy
If memory serves, the crux of the issue was that smbclient (well, samba in general) changed the way verbose output was handled. The tar errors (unexpected end of file) resulted from a samba not reporting the same number of files (specifically, reporting 0 files backed up as verbose output was broke

[BackupPC-users] Unable to connect on port -1

2020-06-27 Thread Phil Kennedy
I've hit my wits end on an issue with my backuppc instance. The system ran fine, untouched, for many months. This is an ubuntu 16.0.4 system, running backuppc 3.3.1, installed via apt. When accessing the index (or any other pages), I get the following: Error: Unable to connect to BackupPC server Th

How far of a jump in upgrade did you make to get to Sierra? Apple switched over the sshd_config to use Authorized_keys rather than Authorized_keys2 as the home for trusted keypairs several versions ago. Verify that your sshd config is really doing what you are expecting it to do. WRT key based aut

Changing to an NFS mount point isn't any different from the docs that detail how to change the mount point in general. Create your mount point, Mount the NFS share, the change /var/lib/backuppc to a softlink to where ever your new backuppc location is. (Those the 10,000 foot view. You'll want to d

What errors are you seeing? If it's the tar:712 error, that has been discussed in the list archives; the patch for the recent badlock vulnerabilities changed samba's verbose output in such a manner that the backup runs but does not complete successfully. There is a workaround involving a small chan

Tom, You may want to try mounting with the 'nolock' option. I had a similar issue with a D-Link NAS. It's a quick and easy fix to try. ~Phil On 9/24/2014 2:01 PM, Tom Fallon wrote: > Well I've since removed the /etc/fstab as server hung after a reboot but > it did look like this: > > :/volume5/Li

Hi, I recently had a somewhat odd system failure (poorly configured software RAID) that lead to a *very* old set of BackupPC config files being loaded. On one windows machine (possibly more), the default SMB share was reset to C$ instead of E$. The full count keep, plus the min keep values were

What does df say about your backuppc server's partition usage? IIRC the usage % is only calculated once a day. Is it possible that your backuppc installation came across somebody's ripped DVD library / warez collection / VM server and filled the pool? ~Phil On 9/12/2011 11:22 AM, Ward... James

I ran into something sorta similar. Is your pool stored on an NAS or NFS share? In our case, RRDTool was unable to get a lock on files in the pool over the share, and would hang and hang. Sometimes it would time out, very rarely it would catch the page and load. Backuppc otherwise worked fine i
