Hello, I am trying to backup a remote device using rsync. I have Backuppc installed and everything appears to be operating OK. I have changed where files are stored to a connected external USB hard drive - logs are being saved to there so the setup must be correct.
I have tested Rsync with the remote device using the format: rsync -avz -e ssh remoteu...@remotehost:/remote/dir /workstation/dir/ and the files are copied correctly without asking for password, so rsync is working OK. However, when I try to backup with BackupPC the backup fails. The error log shows me: full backup started for directory /remote/dir Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root 192.168.72.11 /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /remote/dir/ Xfer PIDs are now 1893 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) I must have something configured incorrectly but cannot find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ 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/
