Hi all,
I have recently installed BackupPC version 3.1.0 on
my Fedora FC8 server.
I can make backups of external clients using
ssh/rsync without problems.
Now I would like to backup a local (on the server) directory
using ‘tar’
To ensure all files can be accessed, the ‘tar’
should run as ‘root’.
I’m using:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo
$tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName --totals'; $Conf{TarFullArgs} = '$fileList'; $Conf{TarIncrArgs} = '--newer=$incrDate
$fileList'; $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} =
'/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner -v -f - -C $shareName';
but sudo refuses to execute with the following error:
Contents
of file /BackupPool//pc/ihrtest-plone/XferLOG.bad.z, modified 2008-04-10 14:49:02
Running: /usr/bin/sudo /bin/gtar -c -v -f - -C /opt/Plone-3.0.6 --totals .
full backup started for directory /opt/Plone-3.0.6
Xfer PIDs are now 6985,6984
sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo
tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0 filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share /opt/Plone-3.0.6)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share /opt/Plone-3.0.6)
Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 0)
Does anybody know what I’m doing wrong ?
Best Regards
Ib H. Rasmussen
