Hello, I already use BackupPC for a few years now to backup a few private machines at my family's home. I used it under NetBSD until two weeks before.
Now I was switched to OpenBSD 4.8 with my BackupPC server (version 3.2) and copied my configuration onto that new installed machine. Although all looked right, I cannot get any backup finished on my new installation I have to kill the jobs after several (8-9 hours) of stalling. So I crafted a test configuration just to try out, why it doesn't work anymore. My test configuration, however, work on my NetBSD installation running in a VMware virtual machine, where I put my NetBSD server just before I migrated the physically machine to OpenBSD. I use rsyncd to backup. Issue a manually 'rsync' command will copy over all files of my module via rsyncd in just a few seconds. But issue a BackupPC_dump -vf test will stall at a certain point on my OpenBSD installation, but will succeed on my NetBSD installation just in a few minutes too ... Here are the configuration data (test.pl) of my installation: $Conf{RsyncShareName} = [ ':' ]; $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd'; $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { ':' => [ '/mnt', '/dev', '/proc', '/backup' ] }; $Conf{RsyncArgsExtra} = [ '--one-file-system', '--sparse', '--relative' ]; $Conf{PingMaxMsec} = 200; $Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'XXXXXXXXX'; $Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc'; $Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'localhost'; $Conf{IncrLevels} = [ 1, 2, 3 ]; $Conf{FullAgeMax} = 365; $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [ 4, 2, 11 ]; $Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 12; $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [ { 'hourEnd' => 23, 'weekDays' => [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ], 'hourBegin' => 4 } ]; $Conf{RsyncArgs} = [ '--perms', '--owner', '--group', '-D', '--links', '--hard-links', '--times', '--block-size=2048', '--recursive', '--checksum-seed=32761' ]; $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} = [ '--perms', '--owner', '--group', '-D', '--links', '--hard-links', '--times', '--block-size=2048', '--relative', '--ignore-times', '--recursive' ]; $Conf{EMailAdminUserName} = 'cle'; If I start the backup with the command mentioned above, its output will end with create d 755 0/0 512 xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml which should be the last directory of the module ':' (i.e. '/etc') to be backup'd. In the rsyncd logfile, the last entry is 'building file list'. After this, the CPU of the BackupPC_dump will climb up to 98% - 99% and will remain here until I ^C the job ... :-( Until this point BackupPC did create directories and mainly 'attrib' files, but only a few of the files it should backup ... So does anybody have an idea what could be going wrong? I have searched for two days now in the net and the mailing list archive, but found nothing that seem to be similar to my problem.
