Hello Bob,
I have some Linux as well as some Windows client with public/private key
over ssh and I didn't have had this problem with any of my clients.
Do you have established the host key on the client?
What is the error message of "'Start Full Backup' would fail"?
The BackupPC_dump isn't a "troubleshoot command" but the normal backup
command. Normaly called from the backuppc daemon.
