I am getting the following error when trying to test the Win32 client
(posted by Nick Knight) version 0.8f.
I have:
- installed the server on a Linux box and have Linux clients backing up to it
- installed the client on Win32
- can query the server with "bbackupquery -c bbackupd.conf"
- can run the daemon "bbackupd -c bbackupd.conf"
When I run the client [bbackupctl -c bbackupd.conf] I get the following error:
C:\Program Files\Box Backup>bbackupctl -c bbackupd.conf synch
Using configuration file
Exception: Common (1/2)
I'm probably doing something very simple wrong. I just don't see what is
wrong in the config file (or am I specifying the path incorrectly). I have
installed the win32 client in the default location of ("program files\box
backup"). Also, I am running on Windows XP.
As a note, when I look in the PID directory below there is not a file named
bbackupd.pid. Could that be the issue?
Thanks in advance and I've included my config file below,
Chris....

# Use this to temporarily stop bbackupd from syncronising or connecting to
the store.
# This specifies a program or script script which is run just before each
sync, and ideally
# the full path to the interpreter. It will be run as the same user
bbackupd is running as,
# usually root.
# The script prints either "now" or a number to STDOUT (and a terminating
newline, no quotes).
# If the result was "now", then the sync will happen. If it's a number,
then the script will
# be asked again in that number of seconds.
# For example, you could use this on a laptop to only backup when on a
specific network.

#
# BackupLocations specifies which locations on disc should be backed up. Each
# directory is in the format
#
# name
# {
# Path = /path/of/directory
# (optional exclude directives)
# }
#
# 'name' is derived from the Path by the config script, but should merely be
# unique.
#
# The exclude directives are of the form
#
# [Exclude|AlwaysInclude][File|Dir][|sRegex] = regex or full pathname
#
# (The regex suffix is shown as 'sRegex' to make File or Dir plural)
#
# For example:
#
# ExcludeDir = /home/guest-user
# ExcludeFilesRegex = *.(mp3|MP3)$
# AlwaysIncludeFile = /home/username/veryimportant.mp3
#
# This excludes the directory /home/guest-user from the backup along with
all mp3
# files, except one MP3 file in particular.
#
# In general, Exclude excludes a file or directory, unless the directory is
# explicitly mentioned in a AlwaysInclude directive.
#
# If a directive ends in Regex, then it is a regular expression rather than a
# explicit full pathname. See
#
# man 7 re_format
#
# for the regex syntax on your platform.
