I know that it is probably something simple, but maybe not.  I am running backuppc version 4.41 on a Debian computer.  BackupPC starts and I can access it through the CGI interface.  I am attempting to backup my Windows 10 computer.  When I start a backup, it appears to properly connect to my Windows computer and then gives me an error message.  “Got fatal error during xfer (rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(629) [Receiver=3.0.9.6])” Though the log file is set at 3, there is not much information therein to diagnose the problem.  A copy of the log file is below.  Any help would be appreciated.  Please note that I am able to ssh and rsync into the Windows computer manually from the linux computer without problem.  It is set up for password-less ssh login.  Thanks.  Akibu
