Hi, I've found backing up any linux server's data works using tar and ssh but when trying to back up a freebsd server it gives the following error:
2006-12-19 11:30:03 full backup started for directory /etc 2006-12-19 11:30:04 Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share /etc) 2006-12-19 11:30:09 Backup aborted (No files dumped for share /etc) 2006-12-19 11:30:09 Saved partial dump 0 The command its executing: $Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host' . ' env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+' . ' --totals'; ssh to the machine works with keys as root from the backuppc server and sudo is working properly. I've tried removing the "env LC_ALL=C" and also changing it to "LC_ALL=C" and "LANG=C" and "env LANG=C" and no luck. I'm not sure how helpful this would be but running a locale on the relevant machine to be backed up gives: LANG= LC_CTYPE="C" LC_COLLATE="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_ALL= I've also changed the apache to have a shell account for testing and managed to run the above tarclientcmd with all relevant variables successfully. Also after the command completes a echo $? reports error code "0".
