Might be on to something here. When at the client I try to initiate an incremental backup. Which according to the docs should happen at any time. I modified some file so I am sure there is something to backup. The first messages come back as reply from server ok doInc, or something close to that. But then when I go back to the hompage of that client I noticed that the "Failed Ping" count keeps increasing. And the client log file never shows that anything was initiated, but the server log file shows the request. >From the command line I can ping the client by ip address and from the command >line I can ping the server. Since the webserver is dedicated to this function I simply set the user and group to backuppc to avoid all of the setuid stuff. Seems to be happy, at least no errors in the httpd error log.
