First off, let me say BackupPC is a great product. Thank you to
everyone involved.
This has only happened once, but I would like to figure out what could
be going wrong.
I was trying to restore a backup of a directory last night, but no
matter which backup I tried (1 full, 2 inc),
not all the files would restore. I tried through the GUI and tried
using BackupPC_tarCreate. Either
way some files would not restore.
If I run ls on the directory the files should be in, I see the missing
files in the Full backup, but not in the inc one.
When using the command line, here is the command I use:
su backuppc -c "$BupcPath/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h $Server -n $BuNum
-s / -r /home/virtual -p ./ /home/virtual/$Site | gzip >
$Tmp/$Domain.bupc.tgz"
When I try to view the tgz, here is what I see:
[root] < at > [server2] /home/backuppc/util # tar -tzvf
../extract/sitebackup.com.tgz | grep mivadata
tar: Skipping to next header

tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Skipping to next header
This command works fiine for other backups, but I fear other files may
have the same issue
that I won't find untill I need them.
I'm running BackupPC 2.1.0 on Fedora c1
Here is my config file:
# Minimum period in days between full backups. A full dump will only be
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 32.97;
# Minimum period in days between incremental backups (a user requested
# incremental backup will be done anytime on demand).
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 6.97;
# Number of full backups to keep. Must be >= 1.
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 62;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 2;
$Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{IncrAgeMax} = 33;
$Conf{IncrFill} = 0;
$Conf{RestoreInfoKeepCnt} = 10
$Conf{ArchiveInfoKeepCnt} = 10;
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = undef;
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = undef;
$Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} = 3;
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = 7;
