Comment on Backing Up Open Files on Windows with Rsync (and BackupPC) by higuita

I recently started to have problems with winexe and some windows machines, the winexe failed with:
winexe: relocation error: /lib32/libresolv.so.2: symbol strlen, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

i was using the static build, version 0.8 IIRC, but the webpage is no more. luckily, the author moved to sourceforge and update the license to GPL3:
http://winexe.sourceforge.net
So i grabbed the source, version 0.91, compiled (tar zvxf winexe-*.tar.gz ; cd winexec ; cd source4; ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make ; sudo cp bin/winexe /etc/backuppc/bin ) and its now working fine again. i will update my package later, but my “new” package will be dynamic build against debian testing… might not work in other distros… but recompile is easy enough to do it yourself.

also, i will add the vshadow for windows64, as the 32bit one doesnt work… so now there are 3 vshadow: vshadow-xp, vshadow-32 and vshadow-64 and their use should be autodetected by the script

Ok, I’ve got it. It seems as easy as:

In backuppc.cmd
vshadow -script=vss-setvar.cmd -exec=vsrsync.cmd c: d:

In vsrrsync.cmd:
…
dosdev A: %SHADOW_DEVICE_1%
dosdev B: %SHADOW_DEVICE_2%
…
dosdev -r -d A:
dosdev -r -d B:

In rsyncd.conf:
[system]
path = /cygdrive/A/
…

[users]
path = /cygdrive/B/
…

$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'system',
'users'
];

Thank you very much for the detailed explanations and downloads, works great.

My question: what can I do if not only C:, but rather C: and D: partitions should be backed up? We have our “users” folder at D: partition …

Thanx in advance

Might seem like a silly question

When the vbs script is running on the host. How do I stop it

“Not a valid windows image” is kind of a catch-all, but the two most common causes are 1) using the wrong binary on the system (e.g., 64 bit binary on 32 bit system) or 2) simple corruption of the binary.
