Hi Tony, If you're stuck at the ssh part, you won't be successful running a backup as making the connection is the first step. What happens when you try to ssh to this client from the backuppc account on the backup server? Assume you've already tried ssh-copy-id but it's failing. I'm having trouble imagining what part of an upgrade would have broken a functional ssh key pairing unless the IP address changed.
As for a local backup you could use rsync to copy home to another partition: rsync -a dir1/ dir2 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-rsync-to-sync-local-and-remote-directories ________________________________ From: Tony Molloy <tony.moll...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, March 3, 2024 9:42 AM To: backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net <backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net>; Tony Molloy <tony.moll...@gmail.com> Subject: [BackupPC-users] How to run a manual backup. Is it possible to run a backup of a share from the command line. I've checked the manual and can't seem to find it. I've several CentOS-Stream-8 boxes backing up without problems. I upgraded one box to CentOS-Stream-9 and I'm having trouble configuring sshd to get rsync for backuppc working. I'd just like to do a full backup of the home directories until I get sshd working. Thanks, Tony.
