similar to: Upgraded BackupPC (3.0.0) in the Testing Repository

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

Ok, downloading the BackupPC RPM directly did not work to myriad dependencies and sub-dependencies. How do I add the Test repository to my yum config, please?

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 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

I have just released the first version 0.10 of File::RsyncP to SourceForge. See: http://perlrsync.sourceforge.net File::RsyncP is a perl implementation of an Rsync client. It is compatible with Rsync 2.5.5 (protocol version 26). It can send or receive files, either by running rsync on the remote machine, or connecting to an rsyncd deamon on the remote machine. What use is File::RsyncP?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Hello, Been working on this for a couple days and I am stuck! Followed the CentOS WIKI on BackupPC to the letter. It may be outdated, not sure. I also looked at the tutorial on HowToForge. I'm trying to get a windows client to backup via smb. I created the user 'backuppc' on the windows client with admin priviledges. I can map the drive/share from my CentOS Samba server using

Hi there list :) I use backuppc to take backup of a bunch of hosts, but I ran into problems with the last one I set up, I can't find anything that is different on this one...but it won't work...
