Backup Central

Hello all,

for backing up Win* machines I use vss snapshots as in this description:

http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=62

When trying to restore some files/directories using method 1, the
restore fails with "inet connect: Connection timed out", since there is
no rsync running on the target machine during restore.

Is there a possiblity to set other XFerMethod etc. for restore?

Or do you see another option here?

using backuppc version 3.1.0-9 on Debian Squeeze.

Thanx for all your support,
Falko

I use the $Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} to run a script on my windows client which
will start the rsync daemon if it is not running.
It is nearly the same as you do before "dump" during your "preusercmd.sh"
e.g. pre-restore.cmd:
/bin/rsync --daemon --detach --config=/etc/rsyncd.conf

e.g. pre-restore.cmd:
/bin/rsync --daemon --detach --config=/etc/rsyncd.conf

Thanx for your answer. In the meantime I've found the following solution:

- backup takes place using VSS snapshot - e.g. partitions C: and D:
snapshot are mounted as A: and B:, which has corresponding rsyncd
configuration - so this cannot be used for restore

- I've created another rsyncd.conf for partitions C: and D:,
and now rsyncd is started/stopped using

$Conf{RestorePreUserCmd} = '/etc/backuppc/bin/prerestorecmd-domain.sh
$host';
$Conf{RestorePostUserCmd} = '/etc/backuppc/bin/postrestorecmd-domain.sh
$host'

- "read only = no" in rsyncd.conf is essential

Best regards,
Falko
