Steve,
Thanks for the detailed information. Sorry about the delay in replying.
Yes, the configure.pl script doesn't update individual client
config.plfiles. However, RsyncClientCmd
is no longer used in 4.0.0, so it shouldn't matter if there is still an
orphan setting in a host-specific config.pl.
To clarify your second email, do rsync backups now work correctly? The
rsync_bpc commands in your original email look correct - it appeared for
some reason that the ssh to the backup client was failing for some reason.
Perhaps there was some other orphan setting that was causing a problem.
Good point on rsync in MacOSX. 2.6.9 is almost 7 years old.
I'd like to learn more about the empty download for zip and tar. Were you
selecting files from a old (pre-4.x) backup, or a new (4.x) backup? How
many files did you select? A couple of individual files, or an entire
directory?
