Smbclient worked fluently to create tar compatible backups of all files on an SMB/CIFS share. For which I used an Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server Edition configuration with LAMP, OpenSSH, Samba and BackupPC packages installed. Testing with smbclient \\\\win-pc\\share -U administrator -d 3 (debugging level 3) returns: (...) name_resolve_bcast: Attempting broadcast lookup for name win-pc Got a positive

Hi I am still trying to run SAMBA on AIX with "security = ads" and I have a few questions: - on AIX is no such file as /etc/nsswitch.conf --> Do I have to add the configuration somewhere else? - I allways get this "User xy is invalid on this system" if try to map a share from Windows. What does this mean? Is the user invalid on the Domain? on AIX? on SAMBA? Is the User

I hear that backuppc does *not* have a native *Doze client. On the other hand, I know amanda's been around a long time, and it does. Opinions on amanda, folks? mark

I'm using CentOS 5.0,5.1, and 5.2 on several systems where I'm seeing this problem. Hello, I'm seeing a weird problem that perhaps someone has run into with groups. First, a little background. I was made aware of a problem with CentOS 5 where if the nscd password cache is clear and someone tries to log in if there is no network connection with an LDAP account that it just

Hi All, I must not understand the uid/gid line in rsyncd.conf. If someone could briefly point out where I've gone wrong, I'd appreciate it. I've created a special user to backup a server which has some users who don't want all their files backed up, so I'm trying to address their concerns by using the uid= and gid= lines in rsyncd.conf to have the rsyncd run with

My client Windows XP boxes are failing to register with my WINS server (running nmbd from Samba). I'm puzzled how to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Background: I'm setting up BackupPC to back up my Windows clients using rsync. I've installed cwRsync to the clients. BackupPC uses nmblookup to find the client's IP address given its Windows NETBIOS name. I'm

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

When I try to start BackupPC with "sudo systemctl restart backuppc" on my CentOS-7 server (running kernel 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64) I get the following error in /var/log/BackupPC/LOG 2015-09-26 13:58:14 Reading hosts file 2015-09-26 13:58:14 unix bind() failed: No such file or directory This message occurs in the Perl script /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC : my $sockFile

1. I'm running - or trying to run - BackupPC under Centos-5.2, and have been looking at various BackupPC HOWTOs and tutorials. I see that the "Falko" tutorial at <http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc> recommends (on page 3) that one should enter one's username, "falko" in this case, as the user in /etc/BackupPC/hosts . Other tutorials suggest one should use

It's not required to run backuppc as user root. I

I finally got BackupPC working under Centos-7.1 after several hours of pain. I had been running it for several years under CentOS-6, and probably CentOS-5, but there seem to me to have been several new issues that arise with CentOS-7. In my experience, the official documentation on this, <http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html>, is more or less useless unless you have a very long

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

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

Hi all, I installed BackupPC on one of my Centos 5.4-machines following the wiki at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupPC#head-725ed151d366bcf182cea92f765c373900cfc9dc, where BackupPC is installed from the c5-testing repo. root at mach012 ~/ [0]# rpm -qa backuppc backuppc-3.1.0-1.el5.centos root at mach012 ~/ [0]# Seeing how there's been some updates to BackupPC in the near past, I

Hello Everyone, Has anyone tried to install BackupPC v4 on CentOS 8 from epel? I just did and this happened: [root at resurrect ~]# dnf --enablerepo epel install BackupPC Last metadata expiration check: 0:18:41 ago on Tue 15 Oct 2019 08:03:59 PM EDT.

I recently moved BackupPC from CentOS-6 to CentOS-7. But when I browse to localhost/BackupPC I'm told Error: Wrong user: my userid is 48[apache], instead of 984(backuppc) As far as I can tell, the BackupPC settings are exactly the same as they were before the move. It seems htttpd is running the program as user apache rather than backuppc, as required. Is there a simple setting in
