Hello, everyone. We're running backupPC on our network, backing up quite a few GNU/Linux machines and not missing a beat, it works great.
However, we are now deploying some Windows boxes, and we'd like to include those in our existing backup infrastructure. So I installed the cygwin-rsync package from sourceforge[1], as recommended in the documentation[2], and this seems to work nicely. However, this installation puts a lot of unnecessary noise in Windows Event logs, entries like this: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( rsyncd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: rsyncd: PID 3584: connect from backup.nextline.no (82.134.6.11) Of course, most of this is Windows boilerplate for unknown events, and only the last bit is from rsyncd stdout / stderr output. So my question is, what can be done to mitigate this situation ? My optimal case would be to "make rsyncd known to the system", so that rsyncd output would show up in the event log, but without the Windows boilerplate / warning. There are probably some other alternatives, like logging to a file or something, I guess ? This would not be as nice the optimal alternative, as I am planning on setting up a centralized system for Windows event logs, and I would to have my backup routine logging to that centralized system. Anyone have any inputs here ? Is my optimal case feasible / easy to implement ? Can I have rsyncd logging to another file, avoiding the noise in the event log? Thank you for a great program. -- Torbjørn / Nextline [1]: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34854&package_id=88133 [2]: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#step_5__client_setup ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
