Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC4 and nmblookup

Doug,

Thanks for the logs. Yes, it's a bug in the code that builds the rsync_bpc command. It uses the hostName, instead of the hostIP (they are the same in the non-nmblookup case).

There are four places in lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm where you should replace "{host}" with "{hostIP}". I just pushed the change to git; you can see the diffs here.

It would be great if you could make these changes (either manually edit, apply the diff, or re-install from git) and re-test.

Thanks,
Craig

Yes, it would resolve to an ipv4

The results for running BackupPC_dump as the backuppc user

Failed:

After adding user to the /etc/hosts

Success:

Just as a note, backuppc was originally installed via apt, I didn't have time to figure out my apache setup again so just did the over-the-top install BackupPC 4.0 with some minor changes to file locations, init scripts. If this proves to make a difference, I'll have to review it over the weekend. For us, this server is only for catastrophic recovery only and I can start from scratch if need be.
