Hello fellow backuppc users, I'm attempting to backup a directory on a linux box with using the following host config file:
---------------------------------- $Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar'; $Conf{TarClientPath} = '/bin/tar'; $Conf{TarShareName} = '/etc'; $Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host' . ' env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+' . ' --totals'; $Conf{TarFullArgs} = '$fileList+'; $Conf{TarIncrArgs} = '--newer=$incrDate+ $fileList+'; $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host' . ' env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner' . ' -v -f - -C $shareName+'; ---------------------------------- The command it eventually uses is reported as : /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -n -l root wind env LC_ALL=C /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /etc --totals . Which works from the cli when logged in as root (after copying ssh keys to client in question) but not from within backuppc; error: Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -n -l root wind env LC_ALL=C /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /etc --totals . full backup started for directory /etc Xfer PIDs are now 24504,24503 Tar exited with error 65280 () status tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0 filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share /etc) Backup aborted (No files dumped for share /etc) backuppc is running as user "apache" and has the following line in /etc/passwd: apache:x:48:48:Apache:/var/www:/sbin/nologin Any ideas on how to get this to work. For security reasons i'd prefer to keep apache running without shell access.
