Or better would be:
ssh -l root -T cpanel /bin/true
and you should get this:
backu...@host:~$ ssh -l root -T remotehost /bin/true
backu...@host:~$
ie, no blank line, no error, no text, nothing at all. If you see
*anything* then you need to fix that first.
BTW, the -T means "Disable pseudo-tty allocation."

Adam

It's not output, it's probably an 'stty' or something else that expects its
stdin to be a tty. Note that if you try it like you did ("ssh -l root cpanel"
without command argument), that's not the same as BackupPC is doing. stdin
*will* be a tty in this case, so you won't get the error. You should try
something like "ssh -l root cpanel /bin/true" instead.
The reason it is working with tar is probably just that the tar XferMethod is
less strict about its input. rsync *needs* to agree on a protocol version
first and then speak that protocol (which doesn't accomodate for arbitrary
garbage in the protocol stream). tar just parses messages and treats
everything it doesn't recognize as an error message. You could look at your
error counts and the XferLOG error messages to confirm that.
I would encourage you to find the problem and switch back to rsync (if that is
what you had first planned on using).
Regards,
Holger

Re: [BackupPC-users] Incremental Errors
Looks like I had 2 backuppc daemons running. So both daemons were starting the backup at the same time and then they were tripping over each other. I killed the second one and and restarted the daemon. Looks like it's working again with no issues.
