[BackupPC-users] Rsync whith sudo saves everything !

[Trasher]

Hello, I have some problems using backuppc with rsync with sudo on my localhost. Here is the config file using ssh : $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/etc', '/boot']; $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync'; $Conf{XferLogLevel} = 1; $Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/'; $Conf{ArchiveComp} = 'bzip2'; This one works perfectly (using the main config.pl $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+';) When I try to use sudo for my localhost, the file becomes : $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/etc', '/boot']; $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync'; $Conf{XferLogLevel} = 1; $Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/'; $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+'; $Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+'; $Conf{ArchiveComp} = 'bzip2'; Using this one, $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} seems simply ignored, backuppc proceed on all / (including the disk where the backuppc data directory is [/media/secondary/]). Did I make a mistake in the $Conf{RsyncClientCmd}? The tar method always fails on this host, that's why I tried to use rsync. I've checked mailing list archives without luck :-( Great thanks for any help and for this wonderfull backup solution :) Johan --
