This might be a shot in the dark, but I had a similar issue pop up on a
linux client. I our case there were two backuppc servers (one running v3,
one running v4) running against the same client.
The version 4 client failed with these messages in my syslog:
dan@bucky:~$ gzip -d -c /var/log/syslog.5.gz | grep rsync | less
Jun 18 10:00:02 bucky rsyncd[10902]: name lookup failed for
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Temporary failure in name resolution
Jun 18 10:00:02 bucky rsyncd[10902]: connect from UNKNOWN (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
Jun 18 10:00:02 bucky rsyncd[10902]: *rsync: The server is configured to
refuse --iconv*
Jun 18 10:00:02 bucky rsyncd[10902]: *rsync error: requested action not
supported (code 4) at clientserver.c(973) [sender=3.1.1]*
"sender=3.1.1" implies its the bpc4 instance (bpc3 uses 2.6.something). So,
the problem occurred on a CLIENT running rsync 3.1.1, with a BACKUPPC HOST
running backuppc version 4 (the exact same CLIENT had no issues with
backuppc version 3).
Its an old error, google has lots of references to it. Fix for above
problem is to include this line in rsyncd.conf file on the client:
charset = utf-8
Google references explain it pretty well, better than I can right now.
Suffice to say, this fixed my problem.
