Ralf Bueker, you set the "Platform" in this bug to "VMWare / openSUSE 12.1". Does this mean that you run openSUSE 12.1 as guest system in a VMWare host system? If yes, is it a full/hardware virtualization environment or a paravirtualized environment (also if it is only "a little bit" paravirtualized)?

it is paravirtualized on VMWare Workstation 8.0.4 The customer experienced the issue on a physical machine.

For some basic information about Disaster Recovery see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery

OK, read it. Actually tested it on SLES11SP1 (rear-1.7.23.1) on vmware, where everything works ok

Regarding what you can set in /etc/rear/local.conf see /usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf in particular BACKUP_PROG_INCLUDE=( ) to specify what to include in the backup if the automatism in rear does not result what you need.

looks much better with BACKUP_PROG_INCLUDE=( '\' ) ... This backs up all, as expected. It seem to behave different than in SLES11SP1 (rear-1.7.23.1), where BACKUP_PROG_INCLUDE=( ) backs up all.

Regarding the systemd error in the Rear recovery system: With only one line error message I don't know what actually goes wrong in the Rear recovery system. I have no experience with Rear and systemd because in SLE-HAE-11 we have no systemd.

Ralf Bueker, can you provide more context related to the systemd error?

Unfortunatly not. After typing in "rear" the error message appears 2 times and then nothing more.

I think that rear-1.10.0 (what we have in Archiving and in openSUSE 11.4 up to openSUSE 12.2 and openSUSE:Factory) does not provide any support for systemd because in rear-1.10.0.tar.gz I find no "systemd" at all.

In contrast I find "systemd" in rear-1.13.0-git201206261648.tar.gz in Archiving:Backup:Rear:Snapshot/rear

Therefore I think that rear-1.10.0 is insufficient for systems which use systemd and probably we should provide rear-1.13.0 for Archiving openSUSE 12.2 and openSUSE:Factory.

If you agree this would mean either let "osc develproject openSUSE:Factory rear" point to the real develproject where an up-to-date version of Rear is (e.g. Archiving:Backup:Rear) or upgrade rear in its current develproject "Archiving" to an up-to-date version. Or is it intentionally that rear-1.10.0 is currently in openSUSE 11.4, openSUSE:12.1, openSUSE 12.2, openSUSE:Factory and Archiving? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I would prefer to have a Rear version in openSUSE X.Y that is considered to be "stable" - i.e. I would prefer to have the latest released Rear version in openSUSE-X.Y and not an arbitrary snapshot state. With a snapshot version is is practically impossible to specify or know in advance which exact version would be included in openSUSE-X.Y because this depends on the exact time when the packages are "freezed" for openSUSE-X.Y (you would have to somehow synchronize the rear snapshot with the exact openSUSE package freeze time). What is the difference between the packages - rear in Archiving:Backup:Rear currently rear-1.13.0-git.20120523.tar.gz - rear in Archiving:Backup:Rear:Snapshot currently rear-1.13.0-git201207251536.tar.gz Does Archiving:Backup:Rear contain the latest released Rear version and Archiving:Backup:Rear:Snapshot contains the latest snapshot? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Then I would maintain the latest released Rear version in Archiving:Backup:Rear. Additionally I would make Archiving:Backup:Rear the development project for rear in openSUSE:Factory so that the latest released Rear version which exists at openSUSE package freeze time would be automatically in each future openSUSE-X.Y release. Finally I would delete the outdated rear package in Archiving to clean up the rear packages in OBS.

Johannes, is your account jsmeix ?

Additionally I would make Archiving:Backup:Rear the development project for rear in openSUSE:Factory so that the latest released Rear version which exists at openSUSE package freeze time would be automatically in each future openSUSE-X.Y release.

OK - seems fair.

Finally I would delete the outdated rear package in Archiving to clean up the rear packages in OBS.

Thanks.

In the end, you (i.e. the Rear authors) would maintain the snapshots in Archiving:Backup:Rear:Snapshot and I (preferably together with you) would maintain the latest release in Archiving:Backup:Rear.
