You should be in the backuppc user environment, i.e.: normal_user: $ sudo su - backuppc backuppc_user: $ ssh root@host If this doesn't work you won't get any further with backuppc. NOTE: you will need to accept the RSA key on attempt to SSH to the remote box. -Colin I've worn the GOoLgE keys off of my keyboard...

Re: [BackupPC-users] PIPE error
Correct, It's a question, here's another:
You are correct, the configuration was backing up a dir that was not there.
However, after removing the entry, it returns the same error.
What else would cause 'unable to read 4 bytes?'
