Subject: [Box Backup] install-backup- scripts misplaced in build directory
Message-ID: <00f735fc-311a-666c-cb6e-7474ca9425b8@teknobilly.com>

Installing BoxBackup from the Github repo was a little challenging this 
week.

Installing on CentOS 6 from the repo as described here:
     https://www.boxbackup.org/wiki/SourceCodeRepository

Building the software was normal:

./bootstrap && ./configure && make && echo "Finished."

But running the install-master-client failed
     make install-backup-client

I did find the script install-master-client under the parcels/scripts 
directory, so I copied it to
?parcels/boxbackup-git_80adfe939a663af4e279652f5404429f5594826c-backup-client-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Then I was able to run the install script directory correctly.


To complete the setup, I used the init.d script in 
contrib/redhat/bbackupd but needed to run:
     sed -i "s/box/boxbackup/g" contrib/redhat/bbackupd
to correct the location under /etc/


I confirmed the same situation would occur if the client was built and 
installed on a debian mint flavored system as well.

Cheers,
Billy

Subject: [Box Backup] Large files (4GB)
Message-ID: <ad073b6f-8e91-2dab-2ea9-a710215a6798@free.fr>

Hi everyone,

I tried lately to restore one of my backups just as an exercise, and 
unfortunately, I couldn't.

Small files restored fine, but at the end, the recovery got stuck on VM 
images containing files that are just a bit smaller than 4GB.
On the first time, it just went really slow because the system started 
to swap a bit too much, so I increased the memory (I recovered from a 
VM). The performance was then OK, but every retry failed. One of the 
errors was Protocol_ObjTooBig.

Are such huge files supported? Did anyone recovered some already?
I don't really need these files, is there anyway to remove them manually 
from the remote server?

Thanks,
Olivier
