Hi there list :) I use backuppc to take backup of a bunch of hosts, but I ran into problems with the last one I set up, I can't find anything that is different on this one...but it won't work... So any hints would be greatly appreciated, here are the files
ryncd.conf: log file=/var/log/rsyncd pid file=/var/run/rsyncd.pid [all] comment = All disk path = / use chroot = no lock file = /var/lock/rsyncd read only = no list = yes uid = root gid = root auth users = backuppc secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets strict modes = no ignore errors = yes ignore nonreadable = yes transfer logging = no timeout = 600 dont compress = *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.rpm *.deb *.iso *.bz2 *.tbz And the corresponding .pl file in /etc/backuppc on the server: $Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['all']; $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} ={ 'all' => ['/tmp', '/proc', '/boot', '/sys', '/var/run', '/boot', '/dev', '/media', '/mnt'] }; $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd'; $Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'user'; $Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'password'; The server can ping the host by name. The problem is that when I try to run a full backup it fails at once with the following in the rsync-log: 2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] connect from backuppc (192.168.0.59) 2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] rsync on . from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (192.168.0.59) 2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] building file list 2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32) 2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1122) [sender=2.6.9] Why is it trying to rsync on ".", I'm asking it to rsync "all" aren't I? Other hosts with the exact same .pl file is working fine, and if I manually runs: "rsync -aPv rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/all ." it runs fine... Any ideas or pointers greatly appreciated :) Thanx Sturla -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
