EUREKA!! Hallelujah!! And all that jazz ...... I removed using the ssh.conf, changed the ClientNameAlias to the IP address and put the RsyncSshArgs back to "$sshPath -o KexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss -l root".
And that combo seems to work fine ..... will try another host setup with same configuration to make sure ..... Just some combo of those two areas .... and thank god it was a "user" config error !!!! -----Original Message----- From: Joyce, Stephen [mailto:step...@email.unc.edu] Sent: June 10, 2019 3:58 PM To: David Wynn <dewyn...@yahoo.ca> Subject: RE: [BackupPC-users] BACKUPPC V4 - rsync-bpc error connecting to client Hi, David. Try commenting out "HostName 192.168.1.6" from your ssh.conf, AND adding "192.168.1.6" (without "" marks, when done via the gui) to the ClientNameAlias for the host nbox, and trying the backup again.
