Dear All,
I am new to backupPC and do have a problem with backing up a Linux hosts
here is my configuration
i have a Backup PC server on Centos 5.3
i have downloaded installed backuppc as per intructions form the site but
from source rpm
also installed the required perl modules
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/9547999/com/BackupPC-3.1.0-2.el5.noarch.rpm.html
I am using rsync to backup another centos OS ( my first client)
now when i say start full backup from the GUI it say started fullubackup
of host hostname...
but in my XferLOG i see
-----------
full backup started for directory /var/spool/mail
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root kmdns1 /usr/bin/rsync --server
--sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links
--times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /var/spool/mail/
Xfer PIDs are now 16127
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)
Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the
prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 0)
--------------
as per the docs this error is usaually caused when the backuppc user
cannot ssh without a pasword to the client.
I have configured SSh corectly and the key exchange is fine
cause when i run the command as user backuppc on the Backuppc server
ssh -l root kmdns1 whoami ( where kmdns1) is my hostname
it prints
root
my /etc/BackupPC/hosts file
----------------------------------------
# The first non-comment non-empty line gives the field names and should
# not be edited!!
#
host dhcp user moreUsers # <--- do not edit this line
#
kmdns1 0 admin backuppc
#farside 0 craig jill,jeff # <--- example static IP host entry
#larson 1 bill # <--- example DHCP host entry
-----------------------------
admin s the default user created when i used the rpm command to install
backuppc and (--backuppc--) is the user i have added and also in
apache.users file ..
tried login into the web CGI with both users bu the same error
really would apprecite your help and kind advice
Regards
simon
