Hi,

I've found something.
My server's backup path was /export1/Sauvegardes/BackupPC.
This path did not exist on the client side. I've created an NFS mount
point for both the client and server have the same destination path.
I still have one (last ??) question : is there a way to see the full
rsync command sent by the server to the client, including the exclude
paths and files to be sure they are properly described.

Thank you for your help.

Regards.

Xuo.
