Backup Central

It seems that the per-host config *does* work. After I have changed it
(from the Web interface again) to:

$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
'test',
''
];

the smbclient is now being run as
/usr/local/bin/smbclient \\\\wxpsudakovva\\test ....

So it is just the problem with $fileList not being passed to
smbclient. Can anyone help?

Colleagues,

I am trying backuppc-3.2.1 on FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE (from ports).

I have edited some host parameters in the Web Configuration Editor, it
created the /usr/local/etc/backuppc/pc/wxpsudakovva.pl file with the
following contents:

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'/Drivers/*' => [
'',
''
],
'/oracle' => [
''
]
};

(I don't know if the correct variant is "/path" or /path/*" so I tried
both).

However, when I hit "Start Full Backup" in the web interface, I see
that the override settings are not used. In fact, the smbclient
process looks like this (from ps output):

/usr/local/bin/smbclient \\\\wxpsudakovva\\C$ -U XXXXXXX\\backuppc%XXXXXXXXXXXX -E -d 1 -c tarmode full -Tc -

Why is the per host setting not being applied?

The commands look like
$smbClientPath \\$host\$shareName $I_option -U $userName -E -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc$X_option - $fileList
$smbClientPath \\$host\$shareName $I_option -U $userName -E -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -TcN$X_option $timeStampFile - $fileList

but the $fileList does not seem to ever be passed.

Thanks in advance for any input.

This is a VERY common misconfiguration. The excludes (and includes) are of the format:

'ShareName' => [ 'Exclusion1', 'Exclusion2' ]

So your config should probably look like this:

$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
'test'
];

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'test' => [
'/Drivers/*',
'/oracle'
]
};

In the Web editor, the "New Key" is either the sharename or * (if it should apply to all shares). Once you add the key, there will be a place to add file/directory names.

(Maybe the docs should say something about how this works in the gui. Currently the docs are mainly geared toward someone hand-editing the files.)

Thank you Bowie, but can I see a screenshot? I feel comfortable with
text configs, but the backuppc installation will be run by
Windows-type people. At least they will be adding hosts and selecting
documents to backup.

Maybe it is worth being covered in the FAQ.

Ok. Here's a piece of a screenshot. (sample host created for test
purposes only)

Thank you for the screenshot. Now I grasp the idea behind the GUI.
However, now as the per-host config looks like this:

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'C$' => [
'*.doc',
'*.xls'
]
};
$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
'C$'
];

The resulting command (from ps) is:

/usr/local/bin/smbclient \\\\shr2wxpdispatch\\C$ -I 10.14.135.25 -U XXXXXXXXXXX -E -d 1 -c tarmode full -Tc - *.doc *.xls

Which causes the following error log:

Running: /usr/local/bin/smbclient \\\\shr2wxpdispatch\\C\$ -I 10.14.135.25 -U XXXXXXXXXXX -E -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc - \*.doc \*.xls
full backup started for share C$
Xfer PIDs are now 1384,1383

tarmode is now full, system, hidden, noreset, verbose
NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE listing \*.doc
NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE listing \*.xls
tar: dumped 0 files and directories


The config.pl is as follows:

#
$Conf{SmbClientFullCmd} = '$smbClientPath \\\\$host\\$shareName $I_option -U $userName -E -d 1 -c tarmode\\ full -Tc$X_option - $fileList';

Maybe $SmbClientFullCmd should be modified?
