In the future, I recommend putting the config on the external drive and mounting it to /etc/BackupPC. I'd also recommend copying/tarring /etc/httpd or /etc/nginx (depending on which web server you use) to the external drive. That lets you bring up BackupPC quickly on a replacement server after

I would be careful as running BackupPC could cause certain old backups to expire that you may not want to expire. Plus, if you don't have all the hosts set properly, it could delete pool files that are needed... I would be VERY careful to: 1. Make sure I have my full config restored -- including d

Hi, does your HDD contain the full structure of a pool (usually the structure below /var/lib/BackupPC)? If so I'd recommend to add all the hosts which are visible as directory in pc/-folder. Stop BackupPC, mount your hdd to /var/lib/BackupPC and start BackupPC. It should recon the structure

Greetings. I have a pool of backups in a external hdd, I've seems to have misplaced the config for them, is there a way to reconfigure backuppc so they can be used again? Thanks, Dagg ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge

I realized what my problem was with #1 and can now "see" the list of backups for each client in the Backuppc web interface.  However, most of the backup directories are empty. But my other questions still stand -- is there any way to reconnect files from backups to their cpool files if the hard

[BackupPC-users] Restoring pool hardlinks (or reconnecting files to backups)

2020-02-14 Thread John McKay via BackupPC-users
Hello, Through a bizarre coincidence of three different mistakes/failures in my backup systems at once, I lost access to my backup pool, and my attempt to restore from an old mirrored drive (a ZFS volume) also failed to import. After a couple weeks of trying to get the ZFS pool to import, I gave
