Backup2 is running now and it looks fine, a bit slow but sufficient for the data in Ibays.
Is Mondo allready save to install? I have a DVD-writer in the server since SME6 but still haven't found any use for it. I was hoping to test Mondo with it sometime.
On my Windows machines I use Ghost and I'm searching for a sort of Linux equivelant that's easy to use.

Issue with ClamAV file system scans has been reported. Roberts initial bug entry shows the fix:

Wouldn't be able to push it to a diff mirror could you?

Ibiblio has been down for days

This mirror still works ...

Somebody changed the title of the thread?
Might explain why I got no message updates.

Darrell----
I cannot seem to reach/see the b2 update.
Suggest you use the email address in bugzilla?
Or make it available as a download on your myEZs... site?
----best wishes, Robert

postedit: OK now see the b2 and perl files

Thanks for the (very slightly) longer box for source path entry.
Bemused as to why you've made it multiple lines too though.
It still needs to be longer...
Why on earth is there so much 'white space' onscreen left?

Compression help typo "dramitcally/dramatically" uncorrected.

The 'music' back up still runs at about 18GB/hr so it's no faster.

*NOW* I understand the help notes on the Disaster back up.
FWIW I had originally interpreted it quite wrongly.
Believe the logical 'normal' position should be disabled for
the simple reason that I make a bunch of backups (having to
toggle it each time) whereas I make a single 911/disaster
backup per session.

Code: [Select]
[mantra]longer_entry_boxes_for_the_smeserver's_inflicted_legacy_of_whacking_great_long_filename_paths_that_just_go_on_and_on_seemingly_forever_/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/[/mantra]
My point being that these long paths appear to be necessary
therefore adequately long entry boxes should be coded so
that data entry does not HAVE to be made in permanently
scrolling undersized entry boxes! Less user (path) errors too.
(PS: I'll delete the scrolling segment above after you've read it)

You wanted some testing of the RESTORE functionality.
Normally I just get lost/deleted/overwritten files back
using the WinRAR interface and shoehorn them back in.
So I tried your restore functionality...

Notwithstanding that none of my paths fitted the entry boxes
I thought I had understood the explained logic but the result
showed that seemingly I had not interpreted it correctly as it
all ended up with a double path structure. I specified...
Code: [Select]
Restore 1: *.*
Restored to: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/

...and what I actually got back was...
Code: [Select]
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/146.dvdr
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/147.dvdr
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/148.dvdr
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/198CANON
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/home/e-smith/files/ibays/storage/files/raid5/pix/__canon/__100/199CANON

...the returned data was usable by my image workflow system.

The example 'Note:' (referring to included spaces) confused
me initially, I don't think it should've included the leading '/'.

Now that I've seen/done a restore (using Backup2) I'd
like to amend a previous wishlist request... the final
onscreen column should link to logs for backup/restore.
So simple to code and so user-friendly;~)

It's not a bug but I noticed that the 'mount' thingummy
for the restore functionality appears to hark back to the
previous (e-smith) iteration of this backup programme...
/mnt/backup2ws.100CANON

Whilst I've dropped my immediate use of backuppc I've
maintained a lurking interest in its home newsgroup...
gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.backuppc.general
...and I noticed some stuff in one recent thread <slow transfer smb>:

Code: [Select]
Mark> I changed the config to use smb and connect directly to the
Mark> client host, I then ran a full backup of the host, but it has
Mark> been running for close to 24hours now and seems to have only
Mark> gotten halfway through the smb shares?  How can I make the
Mark> transfer rate faster? It is running across gigabit Ethernet and
Mark> shouldn't never take this long.

I am having this same problem.

I have noticed that if I access the share outside of BackupPC at the
same time, for example at a prompt on the BackupPC computer I run "ls
-lR /mnt/computername/sharename/", then the BackupPC access
immediately begins to run fast -- you can see this in top.

I searched for different samba optimization parameters which I will
try some options to smbmount to see if I can fix it.  If that doesn't
work, I am considering writing something that accesses the smb share
while backuppc is accessing it, to keep the transfer from slowing
down.


Hope this might be of some help to you/backup2.

----best wishes, Robert

I am getting a installation failure due to the Formmagick 0.92-08 dependancy.  I checked the bugtraker and it seems the FormMagick rpm was allegedly uploaded to the smetesting repository a couple of weeks ago, a repository I do not seem to have in my list.

Wonder if someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Your check of the Bug Tracker served you very poorly.

Go to the contribs section...
http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/SME7Contribs
...and move down to the backup2 contrib.

Click the included Bug Tracker section's All Bugs...
http://bugs.contribs.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__all__&product=SME+Contribs&component=smeserver-backup2&content=
...and view the only one in red (referring to dependencies...)

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the reply, but I was at that site and links do not address my issue directly.

I am using yum as the installer.  I have also located and downloaded the FormMagick 0.92-08 rpm

When I run:  yum localinstall smeserver-backup2-1.0.0-b2dmay.noarch.rpm, I recieve:  Error Missing Dependancy: perl-CGI-FormMagick >= 0.92-08 is needed...

I have the perl-CGI-Formmagick-0.92-08.noarch.rpm in the localinstall directory, which yum apparently does not see.

When I attempt to install the perl-CGI.......FormMagick....rpm I receive the error message:  Transaction Check Error:  Package already installed.

When I attempt to yum remove perl-CGI....FormMagick, I recieve the message that the package is not installed.

I seem to be caught in the middle.  

Thanks.

MJ

!?...guessing here.
Manually uninstall your existing perl stuff ie leave out the numbers.
Then, with everything in a separate directory, you could try
yum localinstall *
ie don't be specific and let yum sort out the dependancies.

Interesting... I did an install of backup2 on a differnet server last evening.  It went with no problems what so ever.  The only difference I can come up with between the two servers is that one was a clean install of SME 7 and the other was upgraded over serveral months from SME 7 RC1 to the current version.  The later was the one giving me fits.

Also to note, the bugtracker for backup2 inditcates that the SME-testing repository is one of 4 default repositories activated (or at least available).  That is not the case on my "giving me fits" server.  That repository is neither listed nor available.

Just pointing this out.  The tests so far on the contrib have been flawless.  Thanks for the hard work.

It's bad practice to change the thread topic, I nearly answered you for backup2
