Hi all,
 
I've been using BackupPC to backup Windows clients for over a year and all is running well.
 
I've got other data on the BackupPC server that I'd like to backup regularly also, but I'm having problems getting the server to backup the '/' and '/boot' directories.
 
The client are being backed up by rsyncd running on the clients.
 
In reviewing the documentation, rsync is the best to backup a Linux (FC4) server.  I'm excluding the directories '/proc' '/mnt' (BackupPC data is stored on a drive mounted from here) and '/var/log'.
 
The logs report the following:
 
2008-12-17 18:20:16 full backup started for directory '/boot'
2008-12-17 18:21:08 full backup started for directory '/'
2008-12-17 18:21:09 Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)
2008-12-17 18:21:14 Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)
BackupPC v3.0.0
rsync-2.6.8-1.FC4.1
 
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
