Tino,
Thanks for the quick reply. While I was waiting, I played around with
the server a little and saw two mount points for the NAS, so I stopped
backuppc, unmounted everything remounted the NAS and the image,
chown .shh in the /var/lib/backuppc to backuppc, restarted backuppc
and tried running a backup for Host 2 (.20). As it stands right now
its still running and probably will for some time.
Will try on host 3 (.30) next. I recall deleting and recreating host
one, I do recall the cmds you mentioned from awhile back. I used them
to confirm the ssh connection after I installed ssh keys.
I will play around with the cmds you mentioned and see where that gets
me.
um..no not using rsync....yet. :-). Always used tar from the start.
Will switch as soon as this backup completes.

Let's go through this step by step.
1. What's your $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} set to?
2. Become user backuppc and try to run the ssh-part of that command.
It
should look similar to this:
ssh -q -x -l root host1
-> you should be logged into host1 without any prompt for password or
similar
3. try (still as user backuppc)
ssh -q -x -l root host1 /bin/true
-> this command should output absolutely nothing and just return
4. try starting a full backup for host1
-> if anything fails, send the logfile for that host.
BTW: I suppose you're using the rsync over ssh method to backup your
hosts?
HTH,
Tino.
