But I solved the problem by using rsync instead of rsyncd as XferMethod with the following rsync arguments: --timeout=604800 --contimeout=604800 --no-compress I only had to exchange some public keys within the same machine.
I use the "--no-compress" parameter because of this bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7757 I do not really know if that bug stll exists in rsync version 3.1.1 but I wanted to be sure. The internal backup path now looks a bit different: /var/lib/backuppc/pc/<computer>/<mount> Before <mount> was the name of the rsync share. Now it is the absolute path which has to be backed up. The backup runs smoothly now and I can see the actual command line with 'ps aux', 'htop' and similar tools. All parameters listed in RsyncArgs and RsyncArgsExtra were used. -- —————————————————————————————————————————————— Homepage: http://freakscorner.de Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Bastelkeller Twitter: http://twitter.com/freaks_corner Youtube: http://youtube.com/tubenic86 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
