Hi All,
Thanks to Ambrose Li for spotting my stupid editing mistake - the
rsyncd modules require a 'path = ' prefix to the directories to back
up. I can now rsync from the backuppc server to the client Mac from
the commandline, using the rsyncd method, but the backuppc-driven
backup is still failing. I increased the log level to 10 and got
this log which has lots of text, but is largely uninformative to me.
(Long lines have been wrapped with '\'.
The only thing I can see that makes some sense is that somewhere in
the process, the following '--exclude' flags are being sent in the
args line:
--exclude=/* \
--exclude=/private/*
which are in neither the client config file nor the config.pl file.
Those lines would seem to exclude everything, if they work like I
assume.
