Hi All,
I think I found it after a big of googling.
My disk is full because I haven't mounted my backup drive properly :-[
I agree with someone else that posted a message in response to the same
error message I saw, that a more relevant error message would be
better. eg. disk full, not enough space, etc.
Cheers,
Brendan.

I fixed the remote login problem, but now my backups seem to be
exiting prematurely.
The only error message is:
backup failed (Child exited prematurely)
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
I'm using rsync/rsh from an Intel Debian Linux server (backuppc) to
backup a small test directory on a PowerPC Debian Linux development
server.
Thanks,
Brendan.
If you need it in other cases ist better to surround it with a test
for tty-ness:
[ -t ] && {
mesg n
}

Fatal error (bad version): stdin: is not a tty
This error is likely coming from root's .cshrc (or similar
startup script) is trying to set tty modes. These scripts
instead should exit when stdin is not a tty.
What happens when you manually run:
/usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root larabee whoami
stdin: is not a tty
root
Found the problem. /root/.bash_profile sources ~/.bashrc, which has
the
line "mesg n".
I've commented that line out and hopefully this change will make
backuppc happier :)
