I've set the timeout on my backuppc server to 604800 which is one week. One of
my clients has just completed its first full backup. However, my other clients
are still receiving the same rysnc error as before...
2018-03-13 15:11:29 Got fatal error during xfer (rsync error: error in rsync
protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1556) [generator=3.0.9.11])
2018-03-13 15:11:34 Backup aborted (rsync error: error in rsync protocol data
stream (code 12) at io.c(1556) [generator=3.0.9.11])

I'd say its worth a try.

So I should set my ConnectTimeout on my backuppc server then?

According to the man pages, the ConnectTimeout and ServerAlive settings only
apply to ssh_config, i.e. the BPC end, whereas the other settings only apply to
sshd_config, i.e. the host you are trying to backup.

Thank you for the quick response.
Do I have to increase the SSH timeout on my backuppc server or my client or
both?
I've checked the SSH timeout on my backuppc server, its commented out, should I
uncomment it and set it?

Maybe the client has its own firewall?
The BPC timeout setting is ClientTimeout on the Backup Settings page. For SSH
you would have to delve into /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config. Look for
ConnectionTimeout, ClientAliveInterval, ClientAliveCountMax and
ServerAliveInterval. More details via man ssh_config and man sshd_config.

Our servers our on our internal LAN, so I don't think it's our firewall. I used
BackupPC v3 in the past, and I upgraded to BackupPC v4. I had issues with the
upgrade and I had to completely build my backuppc server again. However, I had
no issue with BackupPC v3, I never received that rsync error before until now.
When I go into each of my client's page in the GUI, it says its been
successfully pinged.
I'm not sure on how to find out about the timeout and setting it greater, or
the SSH connection time sorry?

Perhaps the client's firewall is blocking pings.
And what do you have set for timeout - is it 600 seconds? Or perhaps the SSH
connection is timing out.

I believe I solved my issue of the hostname, I had to use the IP address for

Also, when I try to run a backup it fails after about 10 minutes, I'm receiving
the following message...

I'm not sure on what that error means?

I don't see any copy command from the backuppc server to the client here?
Why dont you use
ssh-copy-id -i /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@backuppc-client
(execute this as root user on the backuppc server!)
With kind regards
