Re: [PLUG] rsync not working backuppc4

2019-11-24 Thread Ben Koenig
So you've set up a passwordless login for a user (im assuming username "eagle") and that works. But when you try doing it with backuppc it fails with the /nonexistent error. What this probably means is that backuppc is configured to perform backups as a user that you have not set up for

you haven't given a whole lot of information about how you are setting up your users, so I can't really answer your question What user is initiating the backup on centos? which user is saving the data on FreeNAS? What is the rsync command being deployed to initiate the file transfer? Also, you

I followed instructions to allow passwordless rsync, but I still can't back CentOS 7 up. I do a terminal on my FreeNAS 11.2 U7 web interface: # iocage console backuppc And I'm root in the jail for BackupPC4. I can manually ssh to eagle without a password. What I cannot figure out is why the

SSH keys are *usually* stored in $HOME/.ssh, and the error you are seeing clearly indicates that this folder cannot be created. Since it cannot create the folder, it cannot store your public key, and therefore cannot authenticate via key pair. I'm fairly new to FreeNAS, but on my box /nonexistent/

Updated to the lates 11.2 update tonight and decided to install BackupPC. When I go to manage, it just puts me in an Apache served help file on backuppc. Has anyone here used BackupPC on FreeNAS that could help me set it up for backing up a CentOS 7, Mac OSX Catalina, and some Windows systems?
