I recently upgraded to the 22.04 LTS of Ubuntu, and I'm guessing I now have the v4 of backuppc.  Prior to this, both my local and remote (same lan) backups were working fine via rsync.

On the remote host, I connect via the backuppc user and root ssh key (backuppc can ssh as root on the remote host without a password).  I manually tested rsync from command line and I can transfer a file with no prompts.

The remote backups were failing, so I watched the secure logs and they show the process connecting to the remote host as 'backuppc' instead of 'root'.  I have the user for that host configured correctly.

In the end, I had to add Rsyncssh options to the <host>.pl so it would connect with the correct user.  Why does backuppc ignore the configured user for that host?

thanks,

Brian J
