Thanks John, but it doesn't change anything.

Can somebody explain me why source and destination are inverted in  
the backuppc command, compare to the usual rsync use?

Here are my last experiences, altough the backuppc error message is  
still

Running: /ffp/bin/ssh -q -x -l root 192.168.1.2 /usr/bin/rsync -- 
server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links -- 
hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . / 
home/racine/wikiinterne/
Xfer PIDs are now 2465
Read EOF: Connection reset by peer
Tried again: got 0 bytes
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (Unable to read 4 bytes)
Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes)

What can I do to understand better my problem, and so find a solution  
for it?

I did the following on 192.168.1.2 :
- stop all firewall and protection
- allow root to connect by ssh

I've tried this command in bash :
/ffp/bin/ssh -q -x -l root 192.168.1.2 /usr/bin/rsync --server -- 
sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links  
--times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /home/racine/ 
wikiinterne/

Nothing happend and the command freeze. Why?

I tried this command in a bash, (same as above, wihtout --server -- 
sender) :
/ffp/bin/ssh -q -x -l root 192.168.1.2 /usr/bin/rsync --verbose -- 
numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times -- 
block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /home/racine/wikiinterne

It copies all the content of the /root/ folder to the /home/racine/ 
wikiinterne folder, all of this happend on the client, nothing is  
transfered on the backup server.

What can I test to make it work?

Reagrds,
bruno
