Back In Time

Files not backup'd

Asked by pisacksen

I have 2 files in a directory that are not being archived to a remote network file location. The directory is in the include list and not in the exclude list. I can create a file on the remote location; however BiT does not rsync to that location. Thoughts?

You indicate that it is a network file. How is it mounted locally? With cifs, for example? I had a similar problem and it appeared that the files were not backed up because the network drive would not accept hardlinks (I have mounted the network drive locally using nfs and that seems to solve the problem). Run the backintime -b from the command line and examine the output.

Here is the mount:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=<name>,password=<pwd> //<ip address>/our\ backups /mnt/backup

How would I change to NFS for the mount?

And here is the output:

phil@Docker:~$ backintime -b

These are the same errors that I had when trying to use cifs. For nfs I use a line in fstab to the network drive, viz:

192.168.1.2:/nfs/FishNet /media/FishNet nfs rw,user 0 0

But obviously you will need to verify whether your network drive supports nfs.

For an Apple Time Capsule, the solution is to modify your CIFS mount options and include nosetuids,noperm
