Hello!
Let me first thank you for providing BackupPC as open source software. I
appreciate it a lot and consider it to be one of the most usefull backup
systems out there!
I’d like to use it with restricted access to the client, so a
potentially corrupted BackupPC server wouldn’t be able to damage the
client machine and data. Using rsync for transfer with a Linux client,
rrsync (restricted rsync – as part of the rsync package) would be a
straigt forward solution to restrict an incoming ssh connection to only
rsync and only a given folder which I will set read only – which would
perfectly do the trick. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to work with
BackupPC over rsync, as far as I can see. I’m positive rrsync generally
works on the client as I use it successfully with plain rsync over ssh
on the same machine.
I’ve seen rare information on the internet about this, and it wouldn’t
help me so far.
Thank you for some help or instruction!
Hi Felix,
I'm not familiar with rrsync, but perhaps the first step would be to try
it and see. If it doesn't work, then include some logs and what debug
steps you have taken, or other information that might help us to help you.
Regards,
Adam
