Configuration backup and NTFS support

[rod.lopez@…]

When doing a system backup, I always get: "You have just hit a bug in eBox. Please seek technical support." I have eBox 0.8.99 running, and this bug should be fixed in this version, but it's not. Running on a PIII-733, 6.5GB HDD (5.5GB ext3, 1GB swap). This is a real bummer as I cannot use or recommend eBox for production unless it has proper backups.

Are backups incremental or not? Also can an external USB hard disk be attached for backups, and can eBox recognise NTFS partitions (does it use the NTFS-3G driver)?

Cheers

Rod.

Hello Rod,

the message error you have reported can be traced for many different bugs (the message is for an 'internal' error), so we cannot be sure which bug fires it unless we check the logs. (there are at /var/lib/ebox/ebox.log)

However, this may be a known backup bug from the 0.8.99 version. The bug causes the backup process to fail if the certification authority is not created. This is already fixed at the svn and in the next release. Meanwhile you can check whether the certification authority is created or not. If it is the latter, create it as workaround.

The backups are not incremental, there are always complete. This is not problem with configuration-only backup but with full backups, which store user data, you may run out of disk space.

The backups are stored either at /var/lib/ebox/conf/backups or in a CD/DVD disc so you can't use external USB hard or the NTFS partitions to store them without tweaking eBox.

eBox doesn't include the NTFS-3G but currently the neccessity for manipuling NTFS partition hasn't been arisen.

Cheers,

Javier

The bug you spotted should be fixed.

Regarding the incremental backups and the use of USB disks has been added to our feature plan
