Re: [BackupPC-users] GUI not seeing completed backups

I think I figured it out, I set selinux to permissive (command is “setenforce permissive” for those of you finding this through google with a similar issue), and they all showed up. I’m looking through selinux options to configure and tighten the security down now.

Thanks,

Craig

Subject: [BackupPC-users] GUI not seeing completed backups

The backuppc Gui isn’t seeing any of my completed backups. Through the GUI I can start and complete full backups of my workstations. On the host summary page I can even see the light green color on a workstation that just finished it’s backup, but still can’t see the finished backups. They all show up as never backed up when I open them.

It sounds like a permission problem, but both httpd and the backuppc processes are running as user backuppc. The TOPDIR folder has had the command

chown –R backuppc *

run on it, but it’s still doing it (I restarted backuppc and httpd after doing this). It is also not seeing log files through the gui, but going to the folder through the command line I can see the log files and backup sets are there. For example:

[root@localhost c49qhc1]# pwd

/backup/pc/c49qhc1

[root@localhost c49qhc1]# ls -l

total 928

drwxr-x---. 3 backuppc backuppc 4096 Dec 20 07:43 0

-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc 130 Dec 20 07:44 backups

-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc 106 Dec 20 07:43 backups.old

-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc 0 Dec 18 14:00 LOCK

-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc 1908 Dec 20 07:43 LOG.122011

-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc 926013 Dec 20 07:43 XferLOG.0.z

-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc 410 Dec 19 11:01 XferLOG.bad.z.old

[root@localhost c49qhc1]#

Doing a “find .” in the cpool directory shows there are files in there, so backups are being done, I just can’t see them. Any tips on how to go about troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated. I’m running centos6 and backuppc version 3.2.1

Thanks,

Craig
