This worked but I now have an old problem with rsyncd.
Attempts to run a backup on localhost gives "Error connecting to module '/' at localhost 837: Unknown module '/' ". I assume that this is a mistake in the RsyncShareName (path in rsyncd.conf's backuppc module) . The man page states "path - This parameter specifies the directory in the daemon’s filesystem to make available in this module. This statement has been copied verbatim in every instruction I can fine. I have no idea what that means. What is meant by the daemon's file system and what is meant by make available in this module. A plain '/' sure doesn't '/' work. Could someone reword this statement so that I might have a chance of understanding it. This is as bad as the last course I took in math analysis. You know, the GUI is great but there are a couple of items in the setup that just keep causing me no end of grief. After i;ve been away from this package for a while I seem to have to go through the same painful steps. I wish someone would clarify the setup for rsyncd and find an easy method of transfering the pool files.
