Re: [BackupPC-users] ps -ef shows running but no data

Not quite sure what you mean by BackupPC_zcat the XferLOG. How do I do that?

I see /var/backuppc/pc/6.1.1.2 in there and has contents LOCK LOG.072008.z LOG.082008 NewFileList XferLOG.bad.z XferLOG.z.

BackupPC is running right now. Looking in the LOG.082008, the last lines are:

2008-08-22 16:40:51 Aborting backup up after signal INT

2008-08-22 16:40:52 Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)

2008-08-22 16:40:52 full backup started for directory /home/backuppc/test/log

I believe these are from manually stopping the backup then starting it again.

I didn't change $Conf{RsyncArgs}. Below is what is contained there:

$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [

'--numeric-ids',

'--perms',

'--owner',

'--group',

'-D',

'--links',

'--hard-links',

'--times',

'--block-size=2048',

'--recursive'

];

Increased the $Conf{XferLogLevel} to 3 and only get a fileListReceive failed when I cancel the backup.

you should be able to BackupPC_zcat the XferLOG while the backup is still
running, but it may not be complete due to buffering. Is there anything in
there? Is there a $TopDir/pc/hostname/new directory? With contents?
Does increasing $Conf{XferLogLevel} give you anything interesting in the
XferLOG?

I set the pool on the server to be in /var/backuppc, more room there.

Correctly?

Looking at the host ps -ef shows:
backuppc 9567 9565 0 16:23 ? 00:00:00 sshd: backuppc@notty
root 9568 9567 0 16:23 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/rsync --
server --sender --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --
group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --
ignore-times . /home/backuppc/test/log/

The '--server' and '--sender' appear twice. I'm not sure what effect that
would have on rsync or File::RsyncP. Did you change $Conf{RsyncArgs}?
