I think you need to su - and try to ssh -l root 192.168.6.50 as that user so it gets the key for the remote host stored in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Also, I would personally recommend using rsyncd rather than rsync over ssh just so you don't have a non-priveliged user of one machine becoming root on another, but that's just my advice. If you choose to go the ssh route, this should work! HTH! Randy - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[BackupPC-users] Not pooling or compressing
Hello: It seems that my files are not pooling. I have read the docs and have looked in the folders that the pooled files should be in and they are not there. For each backup there is a folder and the backed up files are all contained inside that folder. I am using SMB for transport and am backing up one linux and two xp machines. Are there settings that I can check to make sure pooling happens? Also, my files are not compressing, could this be causing the pooling issue? - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

After checking the docs for the DHCP flag, I found that you should only set the flag to 1 if nmblookup (or gethostbyname) fails. In this case you need to specify a range of IP addresses and backuppc will query those specific addresses to request the hostname from those machines. Now that I understand this better, it's clear that I should have set the flag to 0. Thanks Tristan for pointing me in the right direction. -- Chris - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

It's a machine that I dual-boot windows/linux. When I boot to linux the hostname changes, so it does effectively leave the network. -- Chris - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
