Rob,
Thank you for your quick response. Unfortunately I am having a bit of trouble
setting this up. I have configured the router to forward port 873 (TCP/UDP) to
my XP Pro laptop. I'm fairly certain I have my rsyncd/cygwin set up correctly.
My rysncd looks like this:
[backup]
path = c:/Documents and Settings/backuppc/My Documents
comment = Backup Folder
auth users = backuppc
secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
strict modes = false
read only = true
list = false
port = 873
I have disabled Simple File Sharing and set the share name to be 'backup' and
gave backuppc full permissions to the folder.
Now I have tried all of the four following hosts (in the /etc/backuppc/hosts
file):
router (name assigned to the router's IP address)
router.university.edu (full name)
laptop (NETBIOS name of the laptop I want to backup)
laptop.university.edu (full name of the laptop as set up in 'System Properties'
The DHCP flag is set to 0 in all four cases. Each has a custom config.pl file
located in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/NAME/ that all have the following settings
(that differ from default):
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = 'backup';
$Conf{RsyncdClientPort} = 873;
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'PASSWORD' (from secrets folder)
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
...
'--port=873', ( I know this isn't
technically needed)
...
Trying to back-up:
router gives "inet connect: Connection refused" error
router.university.edu gives "inet connect: Connection refused" error
laptop gives "host not found" error
laptop.university.edu gives "host not found" error
Thanks,
