We have several Dell Poweredge R710 Servers with Ubuntu Server that we’ve been using for Urbackup Server, but I’m having trouble backing up the database and backup data for offsite storage.
I’ve put a blank external into the server, formatted as NTFS, and mounted it. I then made sure there were no running activities on Urbackup. I created the mount point for the data store (which is on a separate virtual disk than the OS) as /media/BACKUP/BACKUPS, and the mount point for the external as /media/testbackup . I then used SSH to get into the server, and executed " sudo rsync -avzHh /media/BACKUP/BACKUPS /media/testbackup. But I’m getting a chown error, and I know that’s permission related. What would I need to do to bypass the chown error, and any suggestions on the rsync command? I want the external to have a copy of all the backups and keep the syslinks, but also only backup the changes the next time it is used. Also what is the directory for Urbackup, and how would I need to adjust the rsync command for that. Would really appreciate any help, and wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed using this program!
