You're right, I just forgot how the syntax effectively works out. Now that I've set it like that, I still get no backups. Executing DumpPreUserCmd: /var/lib/backuppc/tunnel.sh -fC [email protected] -L 8874:127.0.0.1:873 sleep 20 full backup started for directory data Error connecting to rsync daemon at localhost:8874: inet connect: Connessione rifiutata Got fatal error during xfer (inet connect: Connessione rifiutata) Backup aborted (inet connect: Connessione rifiutata) Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 0) ------------------------------ If I do "ssh [email protected]" I get logged in without password request, therefore the key-based authentication is working. I would like to get some more detailed log about the "DumpPreUserCmd" (which reads: ssh $@ 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && echo "SSH started successfully.") because I don't know if the ssh tunnel effectively gets opened and *remains* open. How do I debug this further? Thanks guys!
