I'm just getting back to this.
I've set up ssh on my Windows machine and I verified that I can log in
from a linux box using a username and password.
I thought I would be able to set backuppc up to use rsync by looking at
whatever error messages it produced but that is not working.
The "BackupPC: host summary" page shows "backup in progress" for this
host but it gets stuck there forever.
I'm guessing that this is because the $ClientTimeout is still set to
the default of 72000s = 8.33days? Need to reduce that! ...
OK, so I tried reducing it to 120 but I still see the same results. I
would have expected the summary page to show "timed out" instead of in
progress.
The event viewer on the Windows box shows a critical event that says
"sshd: fatal: Timeout before authentication for 192.168.2.53 port
57432".
but it doesn't says what user tried to logon or what authentication
method it was expecting,
I have changed the $RsyncSshArgs to "$sshPath -l steve" and I created a
ssh key pair on the Windows box for user steve . Then I copied the
id_rsa.pub key and added it to the known_hosts file on the NAS just
like I did for the Linux box that is working. Still not working.
Is there a way to get more detailed log messages from backuppc or do I
need to resort to Wireshark?

Well, probably not worth leaping to the cat scan when you can see the
patient is bleeding from an obvious wound.
Can your backup user log in to your Windows machine without a password?
Start there._______________________________________________
