Hi,
I am trying to setup BackupPC to serve my small net.
The server is on an ubuntu/Linux machine.
I installed via synaptic.

I did a couple of successful backups from localhost and from a remote
WinXP machine (the latter using smb).
I am a complete loss to backup my other Linux machine.
I am trying to use ssh+rsync but the transfer fails with the following log:

----------------------------------
I am at a complete loss to understand what's wrong.
I also tried to enter manually the above command ("/usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l
root ...") and to gather info replacing the -q with a -v :)

The results are below:
----------------------------------
...
debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 277
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: Sending environment.
debug1: Sending env LANG = it_IT.UTF-8
debug1: Sending command: /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids
--perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times
--block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /srv/
----------------------------------
It seems everything is ok up to the point where the actual rsync command
is issued, then everything stops (possibly waiting for something else).

I should add that, due to a firewall between server and client, the
server can see the client, but not viceversa.
The problem is the server is on my internal local network, while the
client is my web server on the DMZ branch of the LAN.
This means that the server can initiate the ssh connection ok, but the
client cannot initiate a communication to the server by it's own accord.
I do not *think* this should be a problem, since the ssh tunnel is
working and should be used for rsync communication.

Can someone help me, please?
I'm beginning to be a little desperate...

Mauro

P.S.: I tried sending another mail, but it disappeared, so I wrote
again, I hope You will not be flooded :)

Regards
Mauro
