Hi
I would like to help testing the server and client software, but need help to install on SMB 2011
Best Regards
Hans Clausen
Okay. Thanks.
I’m assuming SMB 2011 is some kind of windows server edition?
I’ve created an server installer for x86/x64 it’s available here for testing:
http://urserver.de/urbackup/UrBackup%20Server%200.11-1.exe
I did some preliminary testing on a x86 and x64 windows 7.
Be sure that the first thing you do after installation is going to the webinterface on port 55414 and set the backup storage directory in the settings.
Things that would be interesting:
*What happens if the storage space in the target directory is exhausted
*What happens if the server runs out of temporary space (probably C:) (is probably difficult to produce)
*What happens if the maximum hard link count of a file is reached
I did the heavy testing on linux thus if this works on windows is not clear yet.
This version does some heavy debug logging - the logfile will probably get huge.
Hi
The installer seems to work fine, but how do I change server address on the clients?
Tried to edit the “pw.txt” with the server key, because I could not find the “server_idents.txt”, but it don’t find the server.
Any ports on the server needed open for the connection.
What about about user rights in AD environment?
SMB 2011 is Microsoft Small Business Server 2011
As I know is it build on the Server 2008 platform
Best Regards

The client listens on port 35623 TCP (commands), on 35621 TCP(files) and 35622 UDP (name announcements). All connections are from server to client.
The client runs as a service. A Windows firewall exception is automatically added by the installer. It runs as a service and thus has service rights and should be able to access all files.
I’m not sure what you mean with user rights in AD environment? (I know what AD is, but not what you hint at)
The “pw.txt” is only there so the “TrayIcon” can connect itself to the service --> as soon as you have rights to access pw.txt you can start backups and change settings and view logs.
The server activly searches for clients. It repeatedly broadcasts to 255.255.255.255 and tries to backup every client that answers. So all you need to do is put server
and client into the same network and it should work.
If it doesn’t could you please look for anomalities in the logfiles (server and client)?
As I understand, the only thing to do is, to run installer on the server and on the client computers.
No need to do any changes in any file?

Yeah no need to change any files. Except if you uninstalled the server once you have to delete the “server_idents.txt” on the clients. This is a security feature. Every client can only be accessed by the first server it sees.
Are you sure the server log is from the server because it says there:
Starting as client...
This should not happen on the server. If it is indeed the server could it be that you have installed client and server into the same directory (bad idea). Or if not can you please tell me the content of “args.txt”?
Ouh!
I did a closer look.
It seems like the server installer, also installs client software.
I were able to start the client software on the server.
On the server “C:\Program Files\UrBackupServer” there is a file called debug.txt, and it is from there the dump is.
So where is the server log located, and what is the filename? Can’t find any other .log files in the install folder.
If I want to start from scratch…
- Run uninstall on client and server.
- Any files needed deleted manual?
- First install the server, and define backup location
- Then install client.
After reinstall the server log “C:\Program Files\UrBackupServer\debug.txt” look like this:

If I try to do a full image backup, an error message prompts “Could not start backup, because no backup server was found”
The Server and Client is on same subnet.
The client is connected wireless to a d-link router.
One of the 4 ports on the router is connected to an unmanaged switch.
The server is connected to the switch.
Is it the server that makes connection to the client or is it otherwise?
What should i look fore with wireshark?
I am rely not that good at using wireshark
Please see the attached file
I can see the broadcast from the server 10.0.0.200, but it seems like the client 10.0.0.66 doesn’t respond.
Is a C class network 10.0.0.1-254
The attachment function did not work for me, so here is a link to the file http://www.mediafire.com/file/e6uhpm7fowgi6x8/wireshark.pcap
Just installed the client app on a Windows 7 starter.
It’s not member of a domain like the other computer I am testing with and it works…
So it might be the domain policies that does the difference.
I am not able to to disable firewall on domain members.
Maby the firewall settings the client installer make, is overruled by the domain policies.
I can see the changes in firewall.
I will play with domain policies tomorrow.
If you like, I can translate the fine work you did with the URBackup to danish

Now it seems to work…
I forgot to disable DNS forward on the router.
The Windows Small Business Server 2001 has a network repair tool and because I had some issues after a VirtualBox installation, I used that tool. (Don’t install VirtualBox on SMD 2011, it fucks up the networkconnections)
The tool told that DNS forward was set on the router and it recommended to disable.
The funny thing is that the to clients I was testing on, did use the server as DNS server, but disabling the DNS forward on the router did the thing.
Suddenly the two computers started image backup… Nice.
I will test further and see if I can get the time to translate to danish.
I’m just curious, why have you chosen to make the connection between client and server like the way you did.
Why not define the server address on the clients, instead of searching for clients?
Next thing is to make backup from one broadcast domain to another and I know that will require a server address.
