Backup Central

hello,

(sorry in advance for my poor english !)

I just installed and began to test the wonderful sofwtare that
backupPC-2.0.0beta0 is !

I noticed few problems on my side:

1.) I'm unable to use this software with "mod_perl" under Apache,
because this amount of memory used by apache grow up to 2000 MB during
backup ! the server is a solaris 7 box, with perl,apache as follow
(packages built with the NetBSD package system):

apache-1.3.27nb3 Apache HTTP (Web) server
perl-5.6.1nb7 Practical Extraction and Report Language
ap-perl-1.25nb1 Module that embeds a Perl interpreter into Apache

I don't know how to debug it, so I configured backupPC as a cgi program
for Apache (as it's well explained in the doc.), and it's working well.

Some advice to track this huge use of memory ?


2.) While browing a backup, the interface show a tree of the backuped
directory structure on the left part and the corresponding files/dir. in
the selected dir.

If you begin browsing, no problem, every url are fine (in the tree).
Then you select a sub-dir in the tree, that implies to get a new HTML page.
On this (new) page, you will be unable to use (again) the tree: the tree
is (still) well designed, but links corresponding to PARENT directories
of the current one are broken; their "href" looks like:

http://.../cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse....&dir=foobar_dir.....

or it should like this (prepending the directory name with "/"):

http://.../cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse....&dir=/foobar_dir.....

Please notice that this problem does not happen if you seelect a sub-dir
of the current dir. displayed.

This is a problem, the cgi program then run for a while, using about 100
MB of memory


If someone has a patch on these points (sorry, I'm not a perl
developper), I will be glad to test it !

hello-again,

I'm sorry for the previous post, I didn't notice the patch provided in a
previous thread of this mailing-list :

From: Craig Barratt <craig < at > at...>
Re: 2.0.0beta0 patch for CGI browse bug

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=4175797


So I applied this patch : it's working nice now, except I'm unable now
to browse the root of the backup share; the url provided for this link is :

http://.../cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?...&share=/d$&dir=/&.....

but it should be:

http://.../cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?...&share=d$&dir=/&.....

in other words : no "/" for the share name.

Hope this help
Regards,

Pierre Bourgin
