One of my hosts died completely and needs replacing, but in the meantime I had to restorer some of the files to the localhost where backuppc is running.
I used the GUI to set up the restore job, but it immediately failed with the usual suspect: ssh problems. Since I'd had to solve that problem before, making sure that the passwordless ssh login between host and client worked. In this case, backuppc is trying to ssh to localhost. I went back to the command line and set up ssh so that it can now passwordless-ssh to itself either as root or as backuppc. I tested both cases with all combinations: sudo -u backuppc ssh [email protected] whoami sudo -u backuppc ssh backuppc@localhost whoami sudo -u backuppc ssh backuppc@gondor whoami and they all work nicely. However this seems to have made backuppc's problems worse, and now I get the error appearing not just once as before, but 3 times as copied from the log file below: Contents of file /media/adam/WDPassport2T/backuppc/pc/localhost/RestoreLOG.8.z, modified 2016-10-07 16:34:22 Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root localhost env LC_ALL=C /bin/tar -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner -v -f - -C Running: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h fangorn -n 72 -s /cygdrive/d/Documents -t -r / -p /home/adam/fangorn/ / Xfer PIDs are now 25659,25660 No protocol specified (ssh-askpass:25663): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 No protocol specified (ssh-askpass:25664): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 No protocol specified (ssh-askpass:25665): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 Tar exited with error 65280 () status tarCreate: Unable to write to output file (Connection reset by peer) restore failed: BackupPC_tarCreate failed So has anyone seen this before? Is there some backuppc-foo that I need to do, or is ssh just not set up properly still?
