Hello, I've installed backuppc on my Gentoo Linux server. It even runs the backups and reported for one of them that it's done (Others are still running). However, if I switch to the "LOG file" in CGI interface - it shows: Can't open log file /var/lib/backuppc/log/LOG I can see the error file, XferLOG.1.z, but donno what program can unpack it= :( Any help is appreciated.. -- Alexey Parshin, http://www.sptk.net |

Does /var/lib/backuppc/log/LOG exist? I don't know much about gentoo but the httpd process has to have permission to access the file. One way this might happen is that you have set the setuid bit on the BackupPC_Admin program, made it owned by the backuppc user, and run it as a normal cgi. This also requires that you have the suidperl perl program which may or may not be a separate package to install (in RedHat/Fedora it is called perl-suidperl). -- Les Mikesell le...@fu... |

Hi! I'm french and I've got problems with backuppc (I'm a newbie with Linux) 1/ If I make an apt-get search backuppc, I only have the choice to install version 2.1.1-2 ....how could I install the last version 2.1.2 ? Do I need to modify my sources.list? 2/ When I install backuppc, Installation runs well but if I do a dpkg-reconfigure backuppc, I've got this message: * Stopping backuppc... No process in pidfile `/var/lib/backuppc/log/BackupPC.pid' found running; none killed. [ ok ] /var/lib/dpkg/info/backuppc.postinst: line 45: /usr/share/wwwconfig-common/apache-include_all.sh: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type Could you help me ?

Distributions packages are often not up to date ; so if you want to use the last BackupPC version you should compile it yourself that's not so hard to do (you should find many tutorials on google explaining this, I wrote myself a small one in french on my website, you could find it at http://x-tnd.be/tutoriels.php5?cat=divers&art=backuppc) > > 2/ When I install backuppc, Installation runs well but > if I do a dpkg-reconfigure backuppc, I've got this > message: > > * Stopping backuppc... > No process in pidfile > `/var/lib/backuppc/log/BackupPC.pid' found running; > none killed. > > [ ok ] > /var/lib/dpkg/info/backuppc.postinst: line 45: > /usr/share/wwwconfig-common/apache-include_all.sh: > Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type > For this problem, I cannot help you because I'm not debian but redhat user :) You should I think consult forums for your specific linux version about this dpkg-reconfigure problem.

Do I need to modify > my sources.list? I think it's better to ask debian related questions on the debian =20 user list, http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-french/ Anyhow, you could check the available packages for the testing =20 release and install from there, after pointing your sources.list at =20 the testing release. This is not advisable due to possible conflicts =20 between packages. The other procedure would be turning a .rpm installer for version =20 2.1.2 into a package with alien and then installing it with apt. There's also something called backports, which contains new packages =20 from testing, backported to the stable release. Look for istructions and available packages on their site; http://www.backports.org/ (There's no backport for backuppc available at this moment as far a I =20= could see) Peter > > 2/ When I install backuppc, Installation runs well but > if I do a dpkg-reconfigure backuppc, I've got this > message: > > * Stopping backuppc... > No process in pidfile > `/var/lib/backuppc/log/BackupPC.pid' found running; > none killed. > > [ ok ] > /var/lib/dpkg/info/backuppc.postinst: line 45: > /usr/share/wwwconfig-common/apache-include_all.sh: > Aucun fichier ou r=C3=A9pertoire de ce type > > > Could you help me ? > > Thanks very much for your answers |

I'm trying to restore a full backup to a newly installed server after we re-installed the OS. I'm trying to use rsync method. Whenever I try to restore files I get the following errors on the entire pool. Remote[2]: skipping non-regular file "filename" What could be causing these errors? None of the files in question are symlinks. So I don't understand what I need to do to restore this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- <html> <b>SAJ</b> <i>a.k.a.

It appears that the file mode is not being interpreted correctly by rsync. First thing to try: replace --devices with -D in both $Conf{RsyncArgs} and $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs}. Failing that, try just a smaller subdirectory and you could try setting $Conf{XferLogLevel} to around 5 or so to get more detailed information. If you are still unsuccesful, try tar (either changing the XferMethod or manually just by running BackupPC_tarCreate and pipe it into something like ssh -l root HOST tar -C /somewhere -xpf -").

Hokay, I'm stuck. I give. I need help. The documentation for UserCmdCheckStatus says: "Whether the exit status of each PreUserCmd and PostUserCmd is checked. "If set and the Dump/Restore/Archive Pre/Post UserCmd returns a non-zero exit status then the dump/restore/archive is aborted. To maintain backward compatibility (where the exit status in early versions was always ignored), this flag defaults to 0. "If this flag is set and the Dump/Restore/Archive PreUserCmd fails then the matching Dump/Restore/Archive PostUserCmd is not executed. If DumpPreShareCmd returns a non-exit status, then DumpPostShareCmd is not executed, but the DumpPostUserCmd is still run (since DumpPreUserCmd must have previously succeeded). "An example of a DumpPreUserCmd that might fail is a script that snapshots or dumps a database which fails because of some database error." Simple enough - so I wrote a script to verify that the location to which I am about to try to backup actually exists (I'm backing up to a removable drive that does get removed, from time to time, and I only want the backups to run when the drive is attached). Then I set this script to the value for the various Pre conditions: $Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l kimball $host /usr/local/ bin/checkHonker'; $Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} = undef; $Conf{DumpPreShareCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l kimball $host /usr/local/ bin/checkHonker'; $Conf{DumpPostShareCmd} = undef; $Conf{RestorePreUserCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l kimball $host /usr/ local/bin/checkHonker'; $Conf{RestorePostUserCmd} = undef; $Conf{ArchivePreUserCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l kimball $host /usr/ local/bin/checkHonker'; $Conf{ArchivePostUserCmd} = undef; and I set it to check the status of the user commands: $Conf{UserCmdCheckStatus} = 1; But it still runs the backup (and writes over my mount point for my external drive) I've verified that the script returns a non-zero when the drive is not present: sillyHost:~ backuppc$ /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l kimball 192.168.0.21 /usr/ local/bin/checkHonker Checking for Honker Honker NOT mounted sillyHost:~ backuppc $ echo $? 1 What am I missing? -- Kimball |

Those PNG backup files are likely compressed with backuppc and gzip, so you're really wanting to look for backuppc's header information.

For instance, you can't just "gunzip < filename" from the pool to examine the contents of the file. You have to use backuppc's zcat utility. I don't know that the format is documented outside of the perl module that does it. Kinda looks like it does zlib blocks and it tweaks the first byte...

I just figured this out myself. You have to runs ssh with flags "-t -t" (or just "-tt"). That flag says to allocate a tty, but you need 2 to force a tty when ssh is not called from a tty. BUT, I also see that you are using "ssh -l root". The point of using sudo is that you don't need remote-root access. The default configuration needs to be better designed to get this right, with proper security considerations. Another problem I realized is that rsync cannot preserve user/group values unless the local rsync is run as root. I am going to try to work on this. Hasn't someone else on this list worked on this??

So sudo really is not useful with the BackupPC design. Ideally, automatic restores should be executed under the user that requested them, and restoration if privileged files should require that the local restore command be invoked or authenticated locally by root. If you disallow remote root write access, then some access restrictions can actually be enforced. Some security can be added with ssh; see http://www.linux.com/feature/113847 Joe Krahn |

Hello all, I'm on a server installed with debian testing (iso in date of 2008/02/04) I installed the latest version of backup PC byt apt-get. Everything went fine, like with other installs of backuppc. Only glitch is that i cant 'access the interface http://localhost/backuppc I keep getting a message : "the resquested url /backuppc wasn't found on this server. Apache says it's working fine, and the LOG in var/lib/backuppc/log only tells me 2008-02-05 16:37:09 Reading hosts file 2008-02-05 16:37:09 Added host localhost to backup list 2008-02-05 16:37:09 BackupPC started, pid 4834 2008-02-05 16:37:09 Running BackupPC_trashClean (pid=4835) 2008-02-05 16:37:09 Next wakeup is 2008-02-05 17:00:00 2008-02-05 16:37:58 Got signal TERM... cleaning up 2008-02-05 16:39:38 Reading hosts file 2008-02-05 16:39:38 BackupPC started, pid 2715 2008-02-05 16:39:39 Running BackupPC_trashClean (pid=2721) 2008-02-05 16:39:39 Next wakeup is 2008-02-05 17:00:00 2008-02-05 17:00:00 Next wakeup is 2008-02-05 18:00:00 2008-02-05 17:00:00 Started full backup on localhost (pid=4017, share=/etc) 2008-02-05 17:00:01 Finished full backup on localhost 2008-02-05 17:00:01 Running BackupPC_link localhost (pid=4028) 2008-02-05 17:00:02 Finished localhost (BackupPC_link localhost) I guess there is just a clumsy erro on my part but i can't see it.. I would be grateful for any kind mind lending me a hand here ...

Being a novice I hesitate to give advice but I had the same problem which I solved by adding a link apache.conf to backuppc.conf as I found on this site: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/BackupPC Then restart apache.
