Hello, all. I am new to this list. So far, I have really enjoyed using BackupPC. I followed the directions on howtoforge.com to get everything set up and running and it is great. http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc
One problem, tho. My Linux workstation recently suffered a melt down and I am having a bugger of a time getting rsync to work so that I can recover my files...which is sort of the point of having a backup server running! Can anyone please take the time to explain to me what files, from the backuppc machine, I should drop on a USB thumbdrive to be able to get rsync working again? I would imagine that it would be a pretty good idea to grab these files for all of the machines that are being backed up! The issue I am having is that (please see Page 4 of the above instructions) when I run ssh -l root my.IP.add.ress whoami I get prompted for a password, but if I replace the hostname for the IP address, it works fine and just returns "root". I'm absolutely stumped on this. Any ideas? Thanks, Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
