Hi!

I've been using backuppc for ages (more than 3 years) on my home 
network, and it works just lovely,

However, after upgrading my server to latest ubuntu (11.04) the 
localhost backup fails. The error is "no ping response". All the other 
machines work fine, but not the server itself. I have not changed 
anything in the setup.  When I manually ping as the user backuppc, that 
is set to execute the backup, there is a ping response. Successful pings 
with "localhost", 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1. But still the backuppc backup 
fails - no ping response.

I did find that backuppc had no rights to rsync in the sudoers file, so 
I added the line:
backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/rsync

as given in the documentation and identical to what I have on all other 
hosts. But still same error: no ping response.

Any suggestions on how to approach this? Backuppc is version 
3.2.0-3ubuntu4.


Best,


Magnus
