OS – 4 systems RHEL 7, Ubuntu 12 thru 14

 

Transfer Method – RSYNC

 

SSH works on certain systems without PW and others require PW.

 

My skill level with Backuppc, beginner

 

Thank you for your help and mostly, patience.

 

The Windows systems running on BUPC are still backing up without issue.

Only the Linux systems fail with ‘unable to read 4 bytes.’

Uhm...
What You tell us is a little too terse.

What is the OS of the client machine? Linux?
What transfer method are You trying to use? rsync?
If You login on the BackupPC server as the backupppc user are You able to manually ssh into Your client WITHOUT manually entering a password?

If You give us a bit more info we will try to help.

Regards
Mauro

Greetings,

I’ve read, read, Googled, fiddled, and cannot figure this out.

I tried to add a server to Backuppc and the only way it would show up on the list is by

SSH into it from the Backuppc server. Now it’s on the list but this server and the backup

server are unable to backup with the subject error.

I have run various keygen, ssh restart, etc. 

Anything standard about this message I’ve overlooked?

- Ubuntu server

Terry
