Re: [BackupPC-users] Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed

The ssh works fine with the keys manually, did do it manually the first time for the ok on the fingerprint. -D is there.

Couldn't find anything wrong in the server. Went to the host and looked in secure logs. Found the following:

Aug 21 12:39:45 test sudo: pam_unix(sudo:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=backuppc

So have to hunt that down.

I have set up BackupPC on a Centos server and am testing now. Trying
the first backup to a host, also Centos, I received the following:

full backup started for directory /home/backuppc/test/log/
Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)

I tried it first without the ending / on that directory with the
same results. backuppc is the owner etc of everything in that
directory.

Can someone give me a pointer where to look for the problem?

Have you searched for 'fileListReceive failed' in the list archives?
There are quite a few threads on this: http://www.mail-archive.com/search?q=fileListReceive+failed&l=backuppc-users%40lists.sourceforge.net
I assume you're using rsync over SSH, but you don't give us a lot of
info to go on.

- Make sure you're using -D instead of --devices in the rsync command
lines with more recent versions of rsync
- Make sure you can login to your client by running the command as the
backuppc user on the backup server manually. If you're using SSH keys
you need to OK the host fingerprint the first time you login, which
BackupPC cannot do for you.
