I am running backuppc-3.3.1-2 on a Debian/sid box, I am ssh-ing into the
box and have a limited set of sudo commands that backuppc can execute. This
is as opposed to ssh-ing in as root.
I have the following in my /etc/sudoers.d/backuppc account:
Cmnd_Alias BACKUP=/bin/tar, /usr/bin/rsync, /usr/bin/mysqldump,
/usr/local/sbin/dbdump
backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD:BACKUP
Then I am able to run backups.
First step, can you ssh into the local host? Second step, can you simulate
the backup command? In my case it is
/usr/bin/ssh -q -x farragut sudo /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender
--numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times
--block-size=2048 --recursive --checksum-seed=32761 --ignore-times . /

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity planning
reports.http://sdm.link/zohodev2dev
