There may be other issues, but it looks like there's something wrong on the server and I think you need to fix that first. The above extracts from your mail are each just a single line in the extracts from your log, which I've broken into pieces so you can more easily see the individual parts of the single (but very long) command. Are you sure that your logs extracts have been faithfully rendered in your mail? If so it's clear that there have been some changes to the "ssh" command template in your BackupPC server configuration (which will be in /etc/BackupPC/config.pl or something like that, depending on how BackupPC was installed on your server). How were the changes made? Did you keep a backup of the original working configuration? At least the part in the second set which begins with "-e /usr/bin/ssh" seems to be broken. The "--rsync-path=" part is missing. I don't know if the (added) parts which begin "--filter=" make sense or not, but the backslash-escaped space and the name "vss.ex" don't look right to me. Four other options were added but that won't be the immediate problem. There are some useful scripts in the section of the BackupPC wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki which might help alert you to things like this in future, for example https://github.com/moisseev/BackupPC_report HTH PS: You may want to check your mail for sensitive information. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
