Hi, When I run rsync manually from either direction of our WAN link to our remote office without the --server --sender options the copy works fine but when I allow BackupPC to do it's thing using --server --sender it reports the following error without performing the backup:
full backup started for directory / Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root hostname.remote nice -n 19 /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 9528 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) The exact BackupPC host configuration I use for WAN rsync works on our LAN hosts without issue. I set all LAN and WAN hosts up using newhost=existinghost and just tweaked the ping timeouts for the WAN ones. What in a WAN arrangement might cause this situation? Why does BackupPC use --server --sender explicitly and not make them tunable from the CGI? I searched the list for an answer but you'd be surprised how many context hits there are for standard rsync commands matching Connection reset by peer and --server --sender in BackupPC error log output!
