I think it will be missing after a reboot again. Because /var/run is a tmpfs mounted directory. So probably need to create the backuppc directory in the init script.

Turned out I was some how missing the /var/run/BackupPC directory, where BackupPC creates the BackupPC.sock and BackupPC.pid files when it's running. How I got BackupPC started the first time, without this directory, I can not tell at this point.

Regardless, things are working well again and it seems that BackupPC-4-alpha is solid for linux and windows clients so far.

write(3, "2014-11-27 09:29:48 unix bind() "..., 66) = 66

That "unix bind() failure" message is writtent to the backuppc log.

I recently decided to upgrade my long running BackupPC system (personal home instance). Since it's for personal use, I decided to give the BackupPC-4.0.0alpha3 a go.  I installed on a CentOS 7 system.

My initial install went fine. I added four hosts and made several backups over the past several days. Today I restarted the sever to move some cabling around and now the BackupPC daemon wont start.

I ran /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC manually and got no output and no errors, but the program just exited ( I expected it to run in the foreground without the -d option). I tried again several times, both with and without the -d option. No output, just exits and I can't find any instance of the BackupPC daemon running.

I tried running BackupPC as root and received the expected "Wrong user" message.

I added the -w flag after #!/usr/bin/perl in the BackupPC command file, hoping to get some help, but nothing stands out to me:

[backuppc@backuppc ~]$ /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
