Re: [Safekeep-devel] lvremove error

[Frank C. <fr...@cr...>]

Eric,

Thanks for your email.  You are probably correct with the patch you have
submitted, but would you be able to send the output of:
lvs
vgs
pvs

over, so I can see the structure of your volume naming.

Regards
Frank

[Safekeep-devel] lvremove error

[Eric A. <eri...@ho...>]

Hi,



I'm getting an error that the removal of the snapshot volume cannot be accomplished.  



root@poemas51:/etc/cron.daily# safekeep --server --cleanup poem11_1

warn: lvremove called for non-existent device: /dev/mapper/poem11-vg--root_snap_safekeep--10595--MEO0Ec--rbind



When I do a list of the client I see:  



era@poem11:~$ ls -l /dev/mapper/

total 0

crw------- 1 root root 10, 236 Feb  6 20:32 control

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       7 Feb  7 22:52 poem11--vg-root -> ../dm-0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       7 Feb  6 20:32 poem11--vg-swap_1 -> ../dm-1



Note the extra '-' between the machine name and the 'vg' designator.



These volumes were set up with default LVM install in Ubuntu 12.04.3.  
After making a small change to line 884 of /usr/bin/safekeep (latest 
release) 



from:



        lvmdev = '/dev/mapper/%s-%s' % (group, volume.replace('-', '--'))



to:



        lvmdev = '/dev/mapper/%s-%s' % (group.replace('-', '--'), volume.replace('-', '--'))



it works.



Hope this helps someone.  I don't think my configuration is that mixed up so perhaps this change should be integrated into the release?  I'll let experts decide.



Best regards,



Eric

Hi Frank,

That sounds like a plan. I'd have to give it a bit of thought.
I'm hoping to get over the hump before the holidays, so I might
end up having some time, so if you need some help pls let me know.

Dimi.

[Safekeep-devel] Some Work on Safekeep

[Frank C. <fr...@cr...>]

Dimi,

I'm going to do a couple of bits of work on Safekeep over the Christmas
period.  Nothing dramatic, but some things I think will help.  They are:

- add an "auto" option, similar to enabled, except it controls if a
client is included in run of all clients, or only if explicitly
specified.  I'm not sure if it should be part of the enabled option, or
a separate one.

- rework the reporting output to rely on format strings rather than the
messy of different functions I originally used.

- rework the snapshot handling (again) since I'm still getting too many
errors.

- maybe look again at what we pass as initial parameters to clients,
i.e. converting the XML back to a string.

Is there anything else that I should look at?

Re: [Safekeep-devel] Safekeep Errors

[Karl S. <ka...@sl...>]

Thank you so much for your help! I ran the debug command and found that it
was a permissions issue (the folder I was trying to put the backups in was
not writable by the user safekeep).

I am now waiting for the backup to complete, but it looks as if it is
working.

Thank you once again! :-)

Re: [Safekeep-devel] Safekeep Errors

[Frank C. <fr...@cr...>]

Karl,

The issue is really why rdiff-backup is failing.  Is this an old backup
with lots of incrementals or a fairly new one.

I have had this sort of problem before, and it takes a bit of effort to
clean up rdiff-backup, and it depends on the actual error.

Either way, please run

safekeep -v --server

to get the error from rdiff-backup printed, and if that is not clear,
try

safekeep -v -v -v --server

for the debug output.

Regards
Frank

[Safekeep-devel] Safekeep Errors

[Karl S. <ka...@sl...>]

Hello,

When I attempt to run safekeep from our backup server, I receive the
following errors:

root@ksrv:/etc/safekeep/backup.d# safekeep --server
ERR: nice failed: exited with non zero status: 1
ERR: Server backup for client kvm03.ash01.slable.com: FAILED
ERR: rdiff-backup failed: exited with non zero status: 1
WARN: Failed to cleanup old data, please fix the problem manually
root@ksrv:/etc/safekeep/backup.d#

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve these problems? I have
searched extensively and am unable to find a solution.

Thank you.

[Safekeep-devel] Proposal for Safekeep Upgrade to Python 3

[Frank C. <fr...@cr...>]

Folks,

Fedora has proposed to make Python 3 the default version of Python in
Fedora 21 with the plan to deprecate Python 2 in future version.

Now, ignoring issues with rdiff-backup has anyone looked at this for
Safekeep.  Fairly obviously, we will need to support Python 2 for a long
time, as RHEL will not be migrating for a long time yet.

Comments welcome.

Frank

[Safekeep-devel] Updated Fedora/EPEL RPMs

[Frank C. <fr...@cr...>]

Folks,

For any of you using Fedora or Redhat EPEL safekeep RPMs, you will
notice new RPMs coming out in the next few weeks.  These don't have any
update to the basic distribution, but rather are just an update to the
spec file to include a requirement on crontabs.

Re: [Safekeep-devel] SMTP Port option needed

[Frank C. <fr...@cr...>]

Ken,

Sorry this has taken so long to get around to committing, some other
things got in the way.

I have made a couple of small changes, in particular changed the
configuration value to 'email.smtp.port' rather than 'email.smtpport'.

Re: [Safekeep-devel] SMTP Port option needed

[Frank C. <fr...@cr...>]

Ken,

It isn't something anyone has ever asked for before, but as you say it
isn't too hard to add either.  I'll check it into the repository in the
next few days.

Regards
Frank

[Safekeep-devel] SMTP Port option needed

[Ken B. <kb...@ke...>]

I'm still running 1.3, but I reviewed the release notes and did not see 
this change in 1.4

Problem: safekeep is using SMTP Port 25 by default which can be blocked 
by many ISP's.

Solution:

What is needed is to add an optional email.smtpport to the safekeep.conf 
file
and in the send_notification pass the port to smtplib.SMTP call.

Basically the following (untested)

Add:
     if 'smtpport' in email:
         email_smtp = email['smtpport']
     else:
         email_smtp = 25

Modify:
        server = smtplib.SMTP(email['smtp'])
to
        server = smtplib.SMTP(email['smtp'], email_smtp)


I can work up a patch if needed, but it seems pretty simply. For the 
past few weeks I have no longer been getting emails from safekeep since 
Comcast started blocking outbound Port 25.

[Safekeep-devel] SafeKeep version 1.4.2 (stable) released

[Frank C. <fr...@cr...>]

This is release 1.4.2 of SafeKeep, a centralized and easy to use 
backup application that combines the best features of a mirror 
and an incremental backup.

This is primarily a bug fix update, but what's new in this release:
  - Report setup errors in summary reports.
  - Added a flag to disable a backup configuration file.
  - Added new targets for building Debian source packages.
  - A number of bug fixes for Python compatibility and other errors.
 
Many thanks to Henrik Riomar and Terry Phelps for their bug reports
and fixes that made this release possible, and to Dimi Paun for his
continual work with SafeKeep.

Tried it with both MySQL and Postgres on Debian 6.0 and safekeep now counts
setup errors as well.

Thanks,

Re: [Safekeep-devel] Error in setup phase not counted as Error in email.summary

[Frank C. <fr...@cr...>]

Henrik,

I've just checked in a number of changes that should track setup errors.
It is likely to still have a few bugs, but seems to be fairly stable.
Let me know if you see any.

It should be pushed out to a new release very soon.

[Safekeep-devel] Change to SafeKeep Repository

[Frank C. <fr...@cr...>]

Folks,

In line SourceForge the SafeKeep SVN repository has moved.  The new URL
is http://svn.code.sf.net/p/safekeep/code/

The website download page has also been updated with this URL, and it
means that the SourceForge Code tab now refers to the correct
repository.

If you are still using the old repository, be aware that after today it
will not receive any further updates and at some time in the near future
will be made Read-Only, and may even be deleted.

Regards
Frank

Re: [Safekeep-devel] Question about safekeep backup errors

[Frank C. <fr...@cr...>]

Terry,

Yes, you probably don't want to backup that mount point, however, the
original original problem you listed seems to be a problem within
rdiff-backup itself.

I've seen it a few times, and it appears that some of the metadata
within rdiff-backup is incorrect, but it can't update it.  I've only
been able to correct it by excluding those files (or tree) from the next
backup and then adding it in again.
