I am using the 'backup to a central backup server with 7 day
incremental' example to archive three separate computers to identically
configured (apart from name) shares on a Western Digital 'MyBookLive'
NAS which has rsync enabled. The backup from two Raspberry Pi Computers
operates without a problem but the backup from a Fedora 32 computer
fails with an 'unknown module Linux1' error message. The only difference
between the code in the .sh module for all three computers is the name
of the share(Linux1 for the Fedora Computer) and the home directory.
#~ #!/bin/sh
# This script does personal backups to a rsync backup server. You will
end up
# with a 7 day rotating incremental backup. The incrementals will go
# into subdirectories named after the day of the week, and the current
# full backup goes into a directory called "current"
# tri...@linuxcare.com
HOME=/home/XXX
# directory to backup
BDIR=/
# excludes file - this contains a wildcard pattern per line of files to
exclude
EXCLUDES=$HOME/Documents/exclude.txt
# the name of the backup machine
BSERVER=r...@nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
export RSYNC_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxx
########################################################################
BACKUPDIR=`date +%A`
OPTS="--force --ignore-errors --delete-excluded
--exclude-from=/home/joe/Documents/exclude.txt
--delete --backup --backup-dir=/$BACKUPDIR -a"
export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
# the following line clears the last weeks incremental directory
[ -d $HOME/emptydir ] || mkdir $HOME/emptydir
rsync --delete -a $HOME/emptydir/ $BSERVER::Linux1/$BACKUPDIR/
rmdir $HOME/emptydir
# now the actual transfer
rsync $OPTS $BDIR $BSERVER::Linux1/current
Can anyone explain why this is happening please?
