I'm backing up our webserver (in the DMZ) with backuppc via rsync. I back up several machines on the LAN segment, without any problems.
However, backuppc keeps claiming to be unable to ping the machine, and thus wont back it up. So everyday I have to manually push the respective backup button. It then AGAIN claims not to be able to ping the machine, and wont back it up. Then I open up a shell to the backup server, and ping the host: andromeda:~# ping merkur PING merkur.corena.dk (192.168.0.5) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=0.848 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=0.930 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=3 ttl=254 time=0.887 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=4 ttl=254 time=0.833 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=5 ttl=254 time=0.857 ms --- merkur.corena.dk ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4005ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.833/0.871/0.930/0.034 ms THEN I press the backup button on the cgi interface again, and now it suddenly is able to ping the machine.... What is up with this strange behavior?...
