Yes, I use rsyncd for the backup and restore protocol for both my linux
and windows boxes (use cygwin rsyncd as a service on the windows boxes).
OK, so that is the right process, and it tells us that it is waiting for
something to happen. Is the remote box a windows machine (I think it was
but I forget now)? I've had this exact issue with windows rsyncd before
when doing backups more than restores, and for me, the solution was one
or more of:
1) Upgrade to the newest version of rsync
2) Upgrade to the newest version of ssh and use rsync over ssh or rsyncd
over ssh
I'm not sure what else I did, but now I use the vss/rsync method which
mostly/usually works....
Actually, these are both linux boxes. The backuppc box is running squeeze (stable). But the new machine (temp) is running wheezy (testing). I will try an apt-get dist-upgrade and see if it works. however, I am leaving now for a 2-day business trip, so it won't be until Thursday that I can check.
