Dear Mattias,
Thanks and appreciate your reply.
actually i solved the problem
let me expalin how
actually my backuppc server was on 172.16.2.0/24 nwtwork and i was backin
up a host on 172.16.3.0/24 .
these 2 networks hav a firewall.( im using shoreline firewall)
now from backuppc server i could ping the client and also
when i ran the command
ssh -l root kmdns1 whoami ( where kmdns1) is my hostname
it prints
root
but the backup was not staring .
i jus moved the backuppc server on 172.16.3.0/24 newtork and it worked
like a charm
any good links how to backup clients on another network or a different subnet
thanks and regards
simon
