Hi, I tried to backup an ESXi system where I installed a rsync (stically linked). Obviously this is not hosted on the default paths. Instead I put it on the VMFS volumes and added the entry to the backup line in BackupPC (config.pl: =========esx.pl============================================ $Conf{RsyncArgs} = [ '--numeric-ids', '--perms', '--owner', '--group', '-D', '--links', '--hard-links', '--times', '--block-size=2048', '--one-file-system', '--recursive', '--checksum-seed=32761', '--rsync-path=/vmfs/volumes/2x250BG_RAID1/rsync-static' ];=========esx.pl============================================
See below the logfile stating rsync is not to be found :-/ =========================================================== full backup started for directory / Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root esx /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --one-file-system --recursive --checksum-seed=32761 --rsync-path=/vmfs/volumes/2x250BG_RAID1/rsync-static --ignore-times . / Xfer PIDs are now 4911 Got remote protocol 540698739 Fatal error (bad version): sh: /usr/bin/rsync: not found Can't write 73 bytes to socket Sent exclude: .*.sf Sent exclude: *.vmdk Sent exclude: *.vswap Sent exclude: *.vmsn Sent exclude: *.vmss Sent exclude: *.vmem Sent exclude: *.sio fileListReceive() failed Done: 0 files, 0 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed) Backup aborted by user signal Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 407) Can someone tell me why it ignores the "path-to-rsync" parameter?Doing it manually (with (-avz and --path-to-rsync) just works perfect!
