I have backuppc running on a debian 5 box. I am currently backing up a number of linux servers without issue. However, I now wish to backup a few mac OS X clients, and I am having difficulty. My backuppc server is called backblaze1 (on a backblaze), and the client in question is called seed.
Basically, I am only using rsync and not rsyncd to back them up. I have shared the ssh keys, and this seems to be working: backblaze1:~# ssh -l root seed whoami root backblaze1:~# However, if I try to run the backup by hand, using the hostname or IP, I get: backblaze1:~/t# /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root 10.1.90.42 /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /Volumes/seed/admin/ and it only returns a funny character that looks like a "proportional to" symbol from mathematics (extended ASCII code 224). If run from the backuppc GUI the log reports: full backup started for directory /Volumes/seed/admin Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root 10.1.90.42 /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /Volumes/seed/admin/ Xfer PIDs are now 13281 Sending: 1c000000 Rsync command pid is 13281 Fetching remote protocol 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) Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 0) Not exactly sure what is going on here. I think that rsync on the MAC is perhaps returning some odd character(s) which is causing rsync on the backuppc server to fail. I have searched the web and found a lot of "basic" setups for the mac client, but they do not point to any problems, and have no different configurations than the one that I am using. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
