Hi there: I'm doing a backup of some of my machines via rsync, and I have the next problem:
------------------ [Tue Feb 22 02:51:13 CET 2011] /usr/bin/rsync -az --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh root@server1:/var/spool/exim /data/backups/server1 [Tue Feb 22 02:51:28 CET 2011] /usr/bin/rsync -az --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh root@server1:/opt/qpsmtpd /data/backups/server1 [Tue Feb 22 02:51:34 CET 2011] /usr/bin/rsync -az --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh root@server1:/opt/spamassassin /data/backups/server1 [Tue Feb 22 02:51:34 CET 2011] /usr/bin/rsync -az --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh root@server1:/opt/clamav /data/backups/server1 ssh: connect to host mx2.ecliente.com port 22: Connection timed out rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(635) [receiver=3.0.3] [Tue Feb 22 02:51:55 CET 2011] /usr/bin/rsync -az --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh root@server1:/opt/exim /data/backups/server1 [Tue Feb 22 02:51:55 CET 2011] /usr/bin/rsync -az --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh root@server1:/etc /data/backups/server1 ------------------ As you can see the error arise in the same machine, but in a different directory. This error happens all days with the same directory. Performing the rsync by hand, it works without any problem: % /usr/bin/rsync -az --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh root@server1:/opt/clamav /data/backups/server1 I'm doing this backup as root via a daily cron. Any idea about the problem? Thanks in advance. Xabi -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
