Well, this is where I'm a bit confused. Who is the "backup user"? The NAS has one user called steve. If I ssh into the NAS and enter the docker that Backuppc is running in, that has one user called backuppc. There is no user called backuppc on the Windows box but there is a user steve. I can ssh into the windows box from inside the docker but it did ask for a password. So I think the answer to your question is "No"
If I look at the /home/backuppc/.ssh/known_hosts file inside the docker I see that there is an entry for my Windows box (called new_asus_laptop). In fact there are 2 which could be this issue? The first looks like: new_asus_laptop ssh-ed25519 <hash> and the second looks like: ssh-rsa <hash> steve@new_asus_laptop On Fri, Jan 26, 2024 at 6:48 PM Michael Stowe < michael.st...@member.mensa.org> wrote: > On 2024-01-26 13:46, Stephen Blackwell wrote: > > 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?
