Hi, I'm trying to copy some files from a remote server. (That server uses passphrase to auth users.) Rsync should be able to copy files with root privileges.
Here is my attempt: sudo rsync -avP --exclude 'proc' --exclude 'dev' --exclude 'tmp' --exclude 'sys' --exclude 'mnt' --rsync-path='sudo rsync' -e "ssh -t -t -i /home/USER/.ssh/key" USER@SERVER:/ /mnt/backup/ Response: protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean? (see the rsync man page for an explanation) The following file is empty: ssh remotesystem /bin/true > test.dat [1] Any ideas? Am I using the correct syntax?
