I am getting the following error from backuppc when trying to backup a windows7 machine from my ubuntu machine(though I believe this error comes directly from samba): [CODE][ skipped 44618 lines ] Error reading file \medSchool\body\dissectionimages\practice.pptx : NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_RESET Didn't get entire file. size=272456645, nread=126584640[/CODE] The backup occurs fine for *hours*

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

Any one have a tutorial for setting up backup pc on centos 5? I already have it all installed (centos test repo), but looking more so for configuration steps that are CentOS centric. Dustin

Hi. I just installed CentOS for the first time, to make a BackupPC server. However, when I try to install BackupPC using yum, I get the error: No package backuppc available. I searched the Testing, Extras and CentOS Plus repositories, and found a BackupPC package only in Testing, at http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/backuppc-3.1.0-1.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm which I

I'm running BackupPC under Centos-5.2. 1. Will BackupPC backup files in NFS-mounted directories? If so, is there any simple way of preventing this? 2. I have seen it suggested that it is not a good idea to backup onto a partition on the same drive as the BackupPC server? Is that true? If so, is a partition on a separate drive on the same machine also bad? Ps Apologies if this has been

BackupPC released 3.2.0 as a stable version a few weeks ago. The most current release is 3.1.0 in the testing repository. Are there any plans that this will be updated to 3.2.0 in the repo some time down the road? Also, will the BackupPC package be moved out of testing and into extras ever? Or are there reasons behind this that are more complicated, making it not "stable" to be in

BackuPC host is CentOS 6.2. Just one windows XP client. SMB backups appear to be working; there is data in the backup directory tree, including a subdir named for the client, in which I can manually view individual files that have been backed up. Now trying to use the web interface. Apache lets me log in, but the status screen shows nothing. Hosts screen says: This status was generated

I've installed backuppc from the EPEL repository. It does backups just fine, BUT, when the backups are done, the status on the web page says there are no backups for any of my systems I'm backing up. To be sure, they are taking up disk space, but it's just not reporting it correctly to the admin web interface. I'm thinking I'm missing some package I need, but am not sure

To enable access to all of the files on the client. It is also possible to run the backup running the rsyncd- daemon on the client. > Is this just a way of running BackupPC as root? Why do you want this? It's not required to run

All of the configuration is stored in text config files. There is a main config file for global options and each host has a config file in it's own directory. Running BackupPC is simply a matter of starting the process. There are

Seems like a packaging bug in EPEL. Fedora does this

The BackupPC mailing list is pretty helpful: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Like John R. Pierce, I use rsync to back up my Windows clients. There was an updated cygwin rsync link posted to the BackupPC list not long ago. It's pretty simple to set up. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
