I've got a bit of a strange situation. My backuppc server, which successfully backs up a half dozen or so machines, is unable to backup one particular host. This host is configured the same as all of

I'm not sure it if causes this symptom, but one thing to check is that the remote shell for root can't output anything (like a message-of-the-day) before starting the specified program. -- Les Mikese

Thank you for your reply. I checked in to it, and determined that there isn't anything being output by logging in to the backuppc system and "su backuppc" then "ssh root@cpanel": [backuppc@backuppc ~

That's a good question that I have no idea how to answer. -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial. Simplify your report design, integration and deploymen
Did you use a disk deduplicator on the drive? Is there a directory with alot of files in it? How many files are you backing up? If you have MANY hardlinks on a file system, rsync with the --hard-link

Sorry, I'm not familiar with a "deduplicator". There aren't any directories with "a lot" of files any more than any of the other systems I'm backing up. There are 202,984 files on the system. find /
That sounds like a different sort of problem then. A deduplicator is a program that walks through a filesystem and finds identical files, and then hard links them together to save space. On Tue, Nov

I run BackupPC on two cPanel servers. If you aren't limiting rsync to one filesystem, be sure to exclude /home/virtfs/*. These are rbind mounts, not hardlinks, and they are mounted dynamically as use

Or better would be: ssh -l root -T cpanel /bin/true and you should get this: backuppc@host:~$ ssh -l root -T remotehost /bin/true backuppc@host:~$ ie, no blank line, no error, no text, nothing at all

Pursuing your suggestion when I executed "ssh -l root -T remote /bin/true" I was greeted with "stdin: is not a tty". My googling resulted in http://platonic.techfiz.info/2008/10/13/stdin-is-not-a-tty
