The backuppc-internal rsync can't handle any extraneous messages before the remote rsync handshake. That is a known problem but usually triggered by a login message from the remote side. I thought it would exit quickly with that error, but maybe it waits for ssh to exit. In any case you'll have to find a way to get that message out of the data stream. Meanwhile you might try setting up rsync in daemon mode on the remote side and using the rsyncd xfer method. That would get ssh out of the picture. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
