The backuppc server is machine2. I.E. it is trying to backup itself. I ran that first command you gave me and it gave a weird message "The authenticity of machine2 can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is blah, blah, blah. Are you sure you want to continue connecting? Please type yes or no"...I typed yes, gave it root's password and tried running BackupPC again.
This time, instead of the previous "fileListReceive failed" errors I get "Unable to read 4 bytes" errors and this is in the error log: Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root machine2 /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . / Xfer PIDs are now 7245 Read EOF: Connection reset by peer Tried again: got 0 bytes Done: 0 files, 0 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (Unable to read 4 bytes) Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes) BTW...I also ran that second command you gave me and I copied the output from it to below (holy macaroni....I have no idea what all that stuff means!).

If the -x is ok, what do I > need to change to have BackupPC backup itself? I've no idea. -x disables X11 forwarding, thus I don't know why it's complaining abut xlib. What happens if you ssh from the backuppc server to machine2 as backuppc user? Adding -vvv will gibe you a more verbose output, removing -q will show you more warning messages. /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root machine2 or /usr/bin/ssh -vvv -x -l root machine2 Ralf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
