similar to: Initial release of PerlRsync (perl rsync client)

I just released version 2.0.0beta0 of BackupPC on SourceForge, see http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ What is BackupPC? It is an enterprise-grade open-source package for backing up WinXX and *nix systems to disk. It supports transport via SMB, tar and now rsync over rsh/ssh and rsyncd. The backend features hard-linking of any identical files (not just files with the same name) and

Hi, I have achieved a reasonable preprocessing of files before pushing them to the remote server (for instance, compressing or encrypting the files) using perlrsync (in the source) and rsync (destination). I tried patching the rsync sources, but it's obviously non-trivial and I am obviously not a capable C coder. When I found perlrsync and could see that it's wire-compatible with

There is an upgraded BackupPC in the testing repository. It is version 3.0.0, which was released in January. The setup differences between version 2.1.2 and this version is that some file directories have shifted locations: 1. /var/lib/backuppc/conf is now instead /etc/BackupPC/ 2. /var/lib/backuppc/log is now /var/log/BackupPC =============================== If you are upgrading ... you

John, are you using c6? I have c7 and epel, nux repo and can't find this packages on these repo. Only backuppc on nux repo.

For some time now i have been running BackupPC 3.1.0 on CentOS 5.1 x86_64 however after upgrading to CentOS 5.2 BackupPC will not start. "sudo /etc/init.d/backuppc start" return OK but there is no BackupPC processes. This fails also. # sudo -u backuppc /usr/bin/BackupPC -d # echo $? 0 This succeeds, but of course does not fork. # sudo -u backuppc /usr/bin/BackupPC So for some

I have been using backuppc (rsync protocol) to backup up a Linux web server onto a local server for a number of years. I recall that data volumes were quite low (about 40MB), regardless of whether I was doing full or incremental backups. I recently switched to both a new web server and backuppc server. Early morning traffic volumes when backuppc runs are much higher than expected - I have

On c7 I can't find mod_perl. Configuring bacula client requires only few lines...with bacula you need only bacula pkgs and one database. With backuppc there are different services to install and configure...some external to centos base. In c7, without mod_perl I must run cgi with suid... Ok bacula is more complex (complexity I mean for its configuration) but It is better organized and less

Hi all. I have been reading the list archives and can't seem to find anything that relates to these errors. BackupPC_nightly fails to delete any files, and reports the pool and cpool at zero size. The nightly run as currently configured should be deleting a ton of files (only one hardlink) but it deletes nothing, and so the drive is now 100% and staying there. I have adjusted the conf

Hi, First I am new on the list, and I think this topic has been allready in past. I am looking rsync with the idea to create perl-Binding for rsync. I saw in the TODO list python binding has been plan in past too. The current rsync code make this hard as rsync does not provide library itself. Of course there is allready librsync for a lib, File::RsyncP as perl binding, but this last one is a

Any feedback on this patch and the possibility of getting it into CVS or the patches directory?

I am the author of BackupPC (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net) and I am working on adding rsync support to BackupPC. I am implementing the server-side in perl, and the client will run vanilla rsync. (BTW, is there the protocol documented? I've answered all my questions by looking at the source, but it would be great to check against any docs.) I started with librsync 0.9.3 and the

Hello everyone, I am interested in updating the Perl package File::RsyncP so that it is compatible with version 30 of the rsync protocol. I don't have much experience with the rsync codebase, and it seems that the only implementations of rsync are either defunct, wrappers around rsync itself, or File::RsyncP. Does there exist a formal specification of the protocols, or is the only way to

I've been studying the read and write buffering in rsync and it turns out most I/O is done just a couple of bytes at a time. This means there are lots of system calls, and also most network traffic comprises lots of small packets. The behavior is most extreme when sending/receiving file deltas of identical files. The main case where I/O is buffered is writes from the server (when io

I am interested in understanding the thing with BackupPC. What does it have compared to basic rsync? - It has a webui Is it like a central backup server? if so, how it works with windows clients(if it is?) Just want to make sure.. I understood right. Why did you choose this over other software? Thanks, Eliezer On 20/09/2015 16:51, Timothy Murphy wrote: > I'd be interested in any

I'd be interested in any corrections or comments on the following instructions (basically for myself): We assume that BackupPC has been installed: sudo yum install BackupPC 1. BackupPC must be run by the user backuppc. Accordingly the lines User apache Group apache in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf should be changed to User backuppc Group backuppc 2. The user backuppc must be able to
