[...] That looks like an invocation using rsyncd; which I would avoid. The time to use rsyncd is when backing up Windows, because cygwin ssh+rsync is buggy and doesn't work.
Keep in mind that BackupPC has both: $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd'; $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync'; You should use 'rsync' for your XferMethod unless there's a really good reason. Thank you Carl, Bowie and Les for your answers. The main advantage I saw using rsyncd, is in the fact that the command line can be much simplified and the include and exclude options can reside in the rsyncd.conf file. But I finally rallied Carls advice (see also http://www.aboutdedupe.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=212471&sid=0612823bf08f34da225b41976ec74c1c) and it works. tom +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by sneak...@gmx.net via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
