As I am totally lost now I decided to start over and make this simple using the generics.
I am running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 and got backuppc from the package manager (dont know the version, how do I find it?) I have the backuppc user in the administrators group and the rsyncd.secrets file shows that user and password. The rsyncd.conf file on the XP box is standard from the download of http://rsync.samba.org/ . use chroot = false log file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.log pid file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.pid lock file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.lock [docs] path = c:/Documents and Settings comment = Documents and Settings strict modes = false secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets read only = true list = false [cDrive] path = c: comment = Entire Drive auth users = backuppc secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets hosts allow = 192.168.1.10 strict modes = false read only = true list = false I have a pc config file that looks like this: $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd'; $Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['docs']; $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/rsyncd', '/Documents and Settings']; When I run a full backup I get this: 2006-08-22 21:33:23 full backup started for directory docs 2006-08-22 21:33:23 Got fatal error during xfer (auth required, but service docs is open/insecure) 2006-08-22 21:33:28 Backup aborted (auth required, but service docs is open/insecure) What am I doing wrong? I am tired of reading endless pages of dead ends and not finding any answers. I hope one of you can disect my problem and shed some light on this for me. Thanks --- "Justin R.

Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
