Hi! It is called localhost in the /etc/backuppc/hosts file: host dhcp user moreUsers localhost 0 backuppc
Then there is a localhost.pl. And yes, I can ping "localhost" as user backuppc: $ ping localhost PING localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.028 ms 64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.029 ms 64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=0.028 ms Magnus 2011-05-17 22:54, Bowie Bailey skrev: > On 5/17/2011 4:46 PM, Magnus Larsson wrote: >> Hi! >> >> I've been using backuppc for ages (more than 3 years) on my home >> network, and it works just lovely, >> >> However, after upgrading my server to latest ubuntu (11.04) the >> localhost backup fails.
