I'm trying to get backuppc (v4.3.2 via the backuppc4-4.3.2 FreeBSD package) going for the first time, with the server residing in a FreeNAS jail. I've got the host configured and it's findable via nmblookup:
[root@backuppc /]# egrep -v '^#' /usr/local/etc/backuppc/hosts host dhcp user moreUsers # <--- do not edit this line kevin-pc 1 backuppc [root@backuppc /]# nmblookup kevin-pc 192.168.0.21 kevin-pc<00> I can ping the machine as the backuppc user: [root@backuppc /]# sudo -u backuppc bash [backuppc@backuppc /]$ ping -c 1 192.168.0.21 PING 192.168.0.21 (192.168.0.21): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.0.21: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=0.193 ms --- 192.168.0.21 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.193/0.193/0.193/0.000 ms But then when I go to start a backup, it immediately fails with no log messages, the only indication I see is that this line increments in the Host status screen: Pings to kevin-pc have failed 6 consecutive times. I've tried adding some logging here <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/blob/be9ce58d286da03878a0f151959ec8ebce6d10ff/bin/BackupPC#L1118-L1133> to just print the $mesg it gets, assuming that this is where it's failing, but nothing gets printed. I've also tried updating the $PingCmd for this host to just be blank, or /bin/echo, nothing seems to work there either. My guess is it's failing in some other way but there don't seem to be any log entries explaining why and the obvious thing it might be (ping) seems to work. Any ideas how I can find more info about what's breaking?
