I don't know that much about windows. If you are protected from the internet by some other firewall I'd try turning off the windows firewall for an incremental run to see if it changes anything. You
You have hit on the root of my conundrum. Rsync on the backuped-up client does not seem to want to write log messages to the log, (it is able to create the log file, albeit empty), and there is no di

Thanks, Tim! I never though of running strace on an interpreted program as I was trusting the underlying infrastructure - interpreter, shared libraries, kernel - will work flawlessly. Anyway, if I re

Others have had problems with firewall/gateway timeouts which is why I grasped at that straw first - after seeing about an hour time passing in your log before the sigpipe. If you have time to babysi

Just FYI, the latest version of libnss-ldap (265-3ubuntu2) available for Ubuntu 15.04 does fix the problem. Stoyan On Thu, May 14, 2015 at 11:37 AM, Stoyan Stoyanov <stoyansbg AT gmail DOT com> wrote
Can the BackupPC server resolve an IP address for the client? Can you manually run the $nmblookup commands for that specific client, and verify that it is correct? Kris Lou klou AT themusiclink DOT

For anybody who uses the rsync-vshadow-winexe client, I've completed a number of updates that may be of interest: - rsync now uses version 3.1.1 - 32-bit or 64-bit binaries are selected as appropriat

Sure, but before starting with the immediate issue, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that this is probably a BAD IDEA. I'd expect performance to be fairly dismal, and all kinds of terrible things ca

Yes. It can find dhcp laptop on its own. Only when backup is requested manualy it does nothing. Actually, I would like to allow manual backups only, since I don't want backup to start any time user c

Cool! Didn't know there was a working rsync Win-client capable of handling locked files... Not too happy using Deltacopy for our Windows-machines. Will give this client a go soonish. Thanks! -- //So

For my VPN clients that need backups, I assign a static address to the VPN endpoint. Then I use this as a ClientNameAlias and also bypass DNS lookups with the NmblookupFindHostCommand. If your clien

I am not sure I understand this but it doesn't work in my configuration. Server is on network 192.168.0 while client has IP 192.168.55.1. I don't see a way to configure this IP into bakupPC. When run
The easy way is to name the host (in BackupPC) with the IP Address. Otherwise, use the ClientNameAlias. http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#_conf_clientnamealias_ Kris Lou klou AT them

Usually it is the other way around - that is, manually connecting to the web interface and starting a backup from the dhcp-connected client will work even if automatic runs can't find it. I think it
