I tried rsyncd, and still encounter problems. Fortunately they are
different problems, so hopefully there is a known solution.
Here is the current rsyncd.conf on the windows box:
[UPC]
/cygdrive/f/UPC
hosts allow = 192.168.2.1
strict modes = false
[apps]
/cygdrive/g/apps
hosts allow = 192.168.2.1
strict modes = false
I tried adding the chroot option, and also closed the path with
another slash (/cygdrive/f/UPS/) and still fail. The error that
backuppc reports is:
Connected to mas90-server:873, remote version 29
Negotiated protocol version 26
Error connecting to module /UPC/ at mas90-server:873: Unknown module '/UPC/'
Got fatal error during xfer (Unknown module '/UPC/')
Backup aborted (Unknown module '/UPC/')
I did find that the win box and debian box had different versions of
rsync, which I saw could often be a problem. As the win box runs
2.6.6, I compiled 2.6.6 in /usr/local on debian. I notice the backuppc
config.pl file asks for the location of rsync on the client, which
shouldn't apply with rsyncd as the client isn't connected to in a ssh
tunnel. My config.pl file for this machine now has:
#
# Path to rsync executable on the client
#
$Conf{RsyncClientPath} = '/usr/local/bin/rsync';
as that is the matching 2.6.6 version of rsync for the win box.
It seems to me that module /UPC/ is pretty well defined, but obviously
this is new territory to me. Do I need to define it differently
somehow?
Thanks for your time,
Jim
