Re: [BackupPC-users] Anyone get rsyncd to work on Windows Server 2008

Hi John,

You don't need to guess - rsyncd uses TCP port 873 by default.  You
can observe that something is listening on that port on the server
side with netstat, and you can test from any client to the server
using telnet:

# not running, or blocked by firewall
$ telnet localhost 873
Trying 1.2.3.4...
telnet: connect to address 1.2.3.4: Connection refused

# running and accessible from your test client
[a1182492@... ~]$ telnet rsyncserver 873
Trying 5.6.7.8...
Connected to rsyncserver.
Escape character is '^]'.
@RSYNCD: 30.0

Hope that helps.

Thanks, I tried that too but I think it works if it is only a proper 
filesystem.

Actually, the following host.pl did the job for me. I had to add an 
"--include" parameter to rsync.
=========
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
   '/home/remi'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '/home/remi' => [
     '.*'
   ]
};
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {};
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
   '--numeric-ids',
   '--perms',
   '--owner',
   '--group',
   '-D',
   '--links',
   '--hard-links',
   '--times',
   '--block-size=2048',
   '--recursive',
   '--include .thunderbird'
];
=========

Do you have many files on this system? I have had something familiar where
thousands of files reside on one file system and rsync runs out of memory. Try
splitting your job up to smaller ones.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude all files but one

[Luis Paulo <luis.barbas@gm...>]

I think you can only use $Conf{RsyncShareName} or $Conf{BackupFilesOnly},
not both

I'll move what I want to backup to a subfolder, lets say
/home/remi/Documents, and use

$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  '/home/remi/Documents',
  '/home/remi/.thunderbird'
];

Didn't test it, but I think you'll get the idea

Re: [BackupPC-users] Error : Child Process Terminated immaturarily

[James Wells <James.Wells@we...>]

Hi Chris,

I suspect youre problem is the out of memory error - so I'd start there - are there many or large files on this server that makes it harder to backup (in terms of memory needs) than others ? It sounds like your BackupPC machine may need more RAM in it to me.

Also, I had a lot of these child exiting errors when our storage device was failing, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Anyone get rsyncd to work on Windows Server 2008

[John BORIS <jboris@ad...>]

I verified that rsyncd is running on the server but I am getting Inet
Connection refused which probably means there is a firewall issue. I can
ping the server from the BackupPC server but that only means the server
is live and ICMP packets are getting to the server. I have to go through
two firewalls to get to this server and I don't control them so it must
be that something is dropping packets or refusing packets.

Thanks for the info.

Until fairly recent versions of cygwin there was some bug that made
rsync 
running under sshd hang randomly, but I think it is fixed now.

That was definitely the case.  We had been using the rsynd over ssh 
tunnel model, but with the new versions we actually had trouble with 
that model.  We gave the straight rsync method a try, and it works great 
now.

[BackupPC-users] Exclude all files but one

[Rémi Boulle <rboulle@fr...>]

Hi,

I would like to backup /home/remi but I don't want all the .* files 
except one named .thunderbird (all the emails...).

After messing around with unsuccessfuls try out, here is my last host.pl :
======
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
   '/home/remi'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '/home/remi' => [
     '.*',
     '!.thunderbird'
   ]
};
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
   '/home/remi' => []
};
=====
How could I do that ?
Thanks a lot.
Rémi.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Anyone get rsyncd to work on Windows Server 2008

I've got it working (rsync, not DeltaCopy) on several 2008 servers both 
32 and 64bit.   I used to run the rsyncd method, but with the new 
Cygwin, I'm just using the rsync method just like I do with Linux 
boxes.  Works even better than using rsyncd.

I'm thinking Deltacopy might help me, as I can't get the regular rsync to work. Rsyncd might be better for my environment. I'll look into this in more detail after the Easter vacations. Thanks for your feedback! -- /Sorin 

I just installed cygwin 1.7 with openssh and rsync, setup openssh as a demon, and do BackupPC that way. The Windows boxes set up exacl\tly like my Linux ones.

I already have ssh access (by way of MobaSSH) and passwordless login to my Win-server from the BPC-machine. I'm thinking Deltacopy might help me, as I can't get the regular rsync to work. Rsyncd might be better for my environment.

I'll look into this in more detail after the Easter vacations.

Thanks for your feedback!

It seems to work with :

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '/home/remi' => ['.*'],
};

instead of :

     '/home/remi/' =>  [
        '.*'

Yes.

You create a Deltacopy service which is simply a Rsyncd running on
port 873 (standard). You connect with Backuppc with rsyncd config.
After you created the deltacopy service, you create a virtual
directory: e.g. cDRIVE and fill in the path and the credentials. this
cDRIVE is what you use in backuppc as Rsyncshare name.

The easy part is that you can copy the windows folder to another
client, register the service and you're good. I did a few tests with
Cygwin and it seems there are a lot more steps to get it running (but
you can get encryption via ssh then)

Thanks, i tied diffenrent things but none of them excludes the hidden files.
Here is my host.pl :
========
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
   '/home/remi'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '/home/remi/.*' => [
     ''
   ],
   '/home/remi/' => [
     '.*'
   ],
   '.*' => [
     ''
   ]
};
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
   '/home/remi/' => [
     '',
     '.thunderbird/'
   ]
};

========

Logged onto the server as backuppc user, i do a 
"/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f 192.168.0.10" and i see 
plenty of lines like those ones :
   same     644   500/100       16623 .AbiSuite/AbiWord.Profile
   same     644   500/500          59 .DCOPserver_remi-desktop__0
   same     600   500/500      148258 .ICEauthority
   create d 755   500/500        4096 .VirtualBox
   create d 755   500/500        4096 .VirtualBox/HardDisks

=> .* files are not excluded.

Any ideas ?
Thanks.
Rémi.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Anyone get rsyncd to work on Windows Server 2008

[Sorin Srbu <sorin.srbu@or...>]

Ok, so it’s just the rsyncd-part on the Win-server that’s interesting,
correct? And you set up BPC to use rsyncd with this particular Win-client
and point it to eg /cygdrive/d/home which is one of those pre-setup virtual
directories they mention in the DeltaCopy-manual. Did I get that right?

DeltaCopy is a gui interface to an rsync daemon.  The installation of the
software is extremely simple and it works on all windows versions up to and
including windows 2008.

I use DeltaCopy as the rsyncd software on all windows boxes that I backup

Hello,

I'm a bit unsure, but shoud not that be something like:

$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
   '/home/remi'
];

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '/home/remi/' => ['.*']
};

Hope that could helps,
Johan

No, I would have guessed it was a firewall, but if nmblookup -A works 
from the command line that must not be it.  Can you do a backup if you 
set the dhcp flag to 0 and put the current IP address in ClientAlias?

[BackupPC-users] how to exclude hiddent files ?

[Rémi Boulle <rboulle@fr...>]

Hi,

I would like to backup only the /home/remi and not all the hidden files 
(especially .local/.../Trash)

Here is my host.pl file :

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '/home/remi/.*' => [],
   '.*' => []
};
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
   '/home/remi'
];

and the main config.pl states :

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '.*' => [
     ''
   ]
};

It doesn't work for me.
Where is my syntax matter ?
Thanks a lot.
Rémi.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Anyone get rsyncd to work on Windows Server 2008

Thanks
I verified it is running but there must be some other reason that the
connection is being refused. I turned off the firewall just to see if
that was causing it but I still get Inet connection refused. Has to be
something else on the system that is blocking the port.
