Hi, I try to use backuppc with rsync to backup files of one client (ordi3) onto the backuppc server (ordi4) . I get the following error message :
2010-08-21 20:48:14 Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely) 2010-08-21 20:48:19 Backup aborted (Child exited prematurely) 2010-08-21 20:48:19 Saved partial dump 0 To debug, I tried to run the same command manually from the server backuppc account (I do not have permission to run ssh as root user, nor from the server, neither from the client). /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l backuppc ordi3 sudo /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . / Nothing happens. The command does not do anything. I do not have any error message. I need to Ctrl-C to stop it. To debug again, I run the command without the --server and --sender options. >From the server, I ran : /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l backuppc ordi3 sudo /usr/bin/rsync --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times -av /home/eric/tmp/sources ./tmp Then files are successfully copied locally onto ordi3 (the client) without being prompted for any password. >From the client, I ran : /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l backuppc ordi4 sudo /usr/bin/rsync --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times -av /var/lib/backuppc /tmp/tmpbck Then files are successfully copied locally onto ordi4 (the server) without being prompted for any password. It means that there is someting wrong with the --server and --sender options but I don't know what. Does anybody have any idea to solve the problem. Regards.
