Robert, The link that Josh provided holds the workaround that worked for me. Basically, you need to replace --device by -D in the definition of the rsync commands in /etc/backuppc/config.pl, otherwise Edgy clients refuse to back up with the error mentioned above.
See this blog post for more info, particularly the first comment: http://wildbill.nulldevice.net/wordpress/?p=198 That fixed it for me. Thanks, Ward. -- BackupPC gives fileListReceive failed error https://launchpad.net/bugs/72958 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
