Mike,
Have you checked your reverse DNS PTR records? In other words, did you do
an nslookup on 192.168.1.117 to ensure it points back to the host? If

I've been struggling with this error for too long and need to ask for some
help. I had BackupPC working when my IP address wa
Interesting. I was wondering why the GUI shifted the fields to the right when I
entered a directory name. So you're saying the syntax should look like this?:

I don't need to mess with RsyncShareName, right?
That being said, if entering my
sorry for the double-post. The forums have been having a lot of trouble this
weekend. Curtis says he's aware of it and is in the process of migrating to a
new server.

@Les: The 'very wrong' syntax I posted is what was auto-generated when I added
my target directory ("/home/michael/") using the CGI. But if you're not a fan
of the web interface, these examples are taken directly from the config.pl file:
Examples:
#$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = '/myFiles';
#$C

Normally you would only use the sharenames as the starting points of what you
want to back up and it defaults to including everything. It doesn't make much
sense to tell the client to walk the whole directory tree when you only want a
specific directory. But the way it is used depends somewhat
You probably still have set
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['/'];
What you want instead is
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['/home/michael/'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {'/home/michael' => ['.Private']};
That's just a guess as I ran into something similiar...

Thanks Daniel, I can g
I've used the GUI to specify that only files in my home folder are backed up
(excluding the ~/.Private folder since that contains only encrypted files.)
This results in the following entry in the client-specific *.pl file:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'/home/michael/' => [
''
]
};

Thanks for the ideas Holger. I'll try out several of them and let you know what
I find.

Hi Bowie,
Yes, I had BackupPC functioning before I modified the username used to connect.
But the data in the home folder that was backed up was all encrypted so I
couldn't browse it to recover individual files.

I'm running an Ubuntu client with ecryptFS enabled. Since my home directory is
encrypted, I'd like to perform the backup as myself rather than root so the
files are browsable by me and restore is possible. Here is another thread

Thanks for your response, Carl.
I'm not trying to start a flame war over command-line vs. GUI, but I thought
this was an amusing exchange:

Hi guys. I'm excited to get backuppc configured but just have a couple n00b
questions that I can't find answered.
While the charm of OSS is that the code is easily accessible, I've found that
most of the documentation steps refer to editing curly bracket objects, which
is great for developers,
