Alright maybe you guys can help me figure out why I cant get this right. Im following the directions on http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html.
Ive generated a private and public key on both client and backuppc servers. ive named my public key from the backup PC server thusly; cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ~/.ssh/BackupPC_id_rsa.pub I then copied that file to the client servers root/.ssh folder and added it to the autherized keys list. touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 cat BackupPC_id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 Because my backuppc server does not have a dns resolvable hostname, i used from="IPADDRESS" in the autherized_keys2 file After that i copied the clients public key over to /root/.ssh/ on the backup server. added it to known hosts and then fixed permissions. when i run the backup i get the following xfer log; Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/cableweb3.ca/XferLOG.bad.z, modified 2013-11-25 14:53:54 full backup started for directory /var/lib/psa/dumps Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root cableweb3.ca /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /var/lib/psa/dumps/ Xfer PIDs are now 27202 Read EOF: Connection reset by peer Tried again: got 0 bytes Done: 0 files, 0 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (Unable to read 4 bytes) Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes) Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 0) Im completely stumped.
