I assume I have to login to the backup server as root and then generate the keys as backuppc has no password for logging in as user backuppc. Tan, thanks for the tip. U assume that will work although I don't understand why backuppc backs up my local station the one I log on as joep) where the backuppc is running. I'm planning to completely reshuffle this system by splitting it in a workstation and virtual server (using vmwar, virtualbox or kvm) as that can run headless and presumably will be much faster. There I can run apache, backuppc, vpnserver, etc. But first this problem must be solved. Joep
