Hello, I am a long time windows / C# developer and recently became interested in using a Raspberry Pi as a network backup server for my home network. I have been trying for 5 months to backup my Windows computers to the RPi using rdiff-backup and I am at my wit's end.
I have installed v1.2.8 on the RPi (server) and on the windows machine (client). I can successfully SSH from client to server using private/public key. But when I run the rdiff-backup command: *rdiff-backup -v9 C:\Users\retti\Desktop\4H bu@backuppi::/home/bu/drive/4H* I get the error: *Couldn't start up the remote connection by executing ssh -C bu@backuppi rdiff-backup --server* So I type in the command manually and it looks like it connects successfully - I guess. At least I don't get an error. It just kind of hangs there with no prompt until I ^C it. Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is? How can I determine what is causing the remote connection problem. Thank you.
