Just following up on my efforts to import a host's existing file-level backups located under /home/backup/hostname/cur/ on the BackupPC server into the BackupPC pool located in /home/BackupPC/pool. I think I can do what I need without additional scripts or efforts to tar.gz the current files.
It occurred to me that I wasn't backing up the BackupPC host, so went through the process of adding the following to the TarClientCmd for that host: /usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals That made me realise that the files I want to seed for my remote host could be similarly imported with something like this (found after much trial and error!): /usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -cvf - -C /home/backup/$host/cur$shareName . --totals (note the lack of a + sign) and similarly remove the + from TarFullArgs: $fileList Looks like it's cranking away now! The final test will be to switch it back to rsync to see if it matches up. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
