Having failed to properly digest a previous issue, I am hesitant... :-) On the backuppc server, have you tried after su - backuppc (ie you assume the id of the backuppc user): /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f WinServer This should provide some debug output that may be enlightening as to why the backup fails. Of course, rsync must be installed on the client pc in addition to the sshd.
