Can you test to see if the 1.0.5 safekeep in updates-testing fixes this? https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2009-0001 -jef This seems like a usage error: the keys were not deployed.
To deploy the keys just do:
safekeep --keys --deploy
However, for this to work safekeep will need to connect to
the "clients" (the boxes that will be backed up, in this
case the same box, localhost) as root.
Alternatively, since you are trying to backup just your box,
you can bypass SSH altogether by not having a 'host' element.
I believe in that case safekeep should just bypass SSH, but
if it doesn't, please let me know.
Dimi.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Using the following packages in Fedora 11: safekeep-server-1.0.5-2.fc11.noarch safekeep-common-1.0.5-2.fc11.noarch and removing the "<host name="localhost" />" element fixes this problem. |
Description of problem: I have a very simple safekeep configuration to backup the localhost machine: <backup> <host name="localhost" /> <setup> <snapshot device="/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-snapshot" size="800M" /> </setup> <repo path="/mnt/backup" retention="3M"/> <data> <include path="/home"/> <include path="/etc"/> <include path="/boot"/> </data> </backup> However, every time the safekeep job runs I get the following messages in my e-mail: INFO: ------------------------------------------------------------------ INFO: Server backup starting for client localhost ERR: Client localhost missing ctrl key /var/lib/safekeep/.ssh/safekeep-server-ctrl-key ERR: Server backup for client localhost: FAILED Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): safekeep-common 1.0.3 2.fc9 safekeep-server 1.0.3 2.fc9 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install safekeep-server 2. create /etc/safekeep/backup.d/localhost.backup with the above contents 3. wait for the cron job to run Actual results: I get the above error message in e-mail and no backups are made. Expected results: I should get a confirmation of successfull backup and see actual backups in /mnt/backup Additional info: The way I understand the manual, using "localhost" as the hostname should avoid the need for SSH and therefore the ctrl key. I suspect that updating to the latest version of safekeep from http://safekeep.sourceforge.net/download.shtml could fix this problem.
