"he problem (likely) is that ssh logs in as the SYSTEM (or equivalent) user that doesn't have permission to run vss.exe. I get around that by using a recursion script to escalate privileges via 'at'. I imagine perhaps that winexe allows for direct launching of vss.ex. "
I created a windows user named backupPC who is in the administrator group and the ssh logs me as backupPC. My teach wants us to use cygwin or some equivalent software, guess I'll have to use cygwin. I'm kinda stuck right now. I installed cygwin on my windows server. When using cygwin I'm atomatically logged in as backupPC (backupPC@serverName), which means that I'll appear as cyg_server which is a memeber of administrators. On my backupserver I tried to open an ssh tunel by doing this : -log in as bakuppc user - created rsa key in ~/.ssh/ - cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh backupPC@windows_server_ip "cd .ssh && cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" - I then do a ssh manually : ssh bakcupPC@windows_server_ip - I do this once again and I don't have to put in my password which means that the tunnel works right? to be sure I tried a ssh -l backupPC@windows_server_ip which sais I was the user cyg_serv i think (though I log in as backupPC i guess it is normal to be loged in as cyg_serv since it is th user dealing with the ssh bridge?) Yet when I try to backup my windows server I always get two errors depending on my modifications : -> Got fatal error during xfer (Unable to read 4 bytes) or : -> Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed) here's my configuration : XFerMethod : rsync RsyncShareName : /sygdrive/c/xdx (<--just to do my tests) RsyncClientPath : /usr/bin/rsync (<= I must be wrong but I didn't find a rsync.exe on my windows, just a something/bash_completion.d/rsync) RsyncClientCmd : $sshPath -q -x -l backupPC $host $rsyncPath $argList+ RsyncClientRestoreCmd : $sshPath -q -x -l backupPC $host $rsyncPath $argList+ NmbLookupCmd : $nmbLookupPath -A $host My error change if I modify backupPC by backuppc in RsyncClientCmd (backupPC being a user on my windows server and backuppc being the one created automatically on my backup server) I'm sorry for my poor english Thank you once again for helping me! +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by elrich.edw...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master SQL Server Development, Administration, T-SQL, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS and more.
