Re: [BackupPC-users] fileListReceive failed
Hi, Actually I use the following version of rsync for the server and the ubuntu client: rsync --version rsync version 3.0.9 protocol version 30 My RsyncArgs are : $Conf{RsyncArgs} = [ '--numeric-ids', '--perms', '--owner', '--group', '-D', '--links', '--hard-links', '--times', '--block-size=2048', '--recursive', '--checksum-seed=32761', '--one-file-system', '' ]; $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} = [ '--numeric-ids', '--perms', '--owner', '--group', '-D', '--links', '--hard-links', '--times', '--block-size=2048', '--relative', '--ignore-times', '--recursive', '--one-file-system', '--checksum-seed=32761', '' ]; Concerning my in/excludes : I have no folder for the server configuration. For My Ubuntu machine, I have : $Conf{RsyncShareName} = [ 'Documents_win', 'home', 'etc', 'var', 'data' ]; $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { 'home' = [ 'echapeaublanc/Dropbox', 'echapeaublanc/.local', 'echapeaublanc/ici-clone', 'echapeaublanc/.gvfs', 'echapeaublanc/.cache' ] }; Extract of my Rsyncd.conf : [Documents_win] path = /media/OS/Users/echapeaublanc/Documents/data_windows/ [home] path = /home/ [etc] path = /etc/ [var] path =/var/ [data] path =/media/DATA/ Yes I added some folders after the first try because I had some access errors. Yes I have the same error on the other machine.

You might even want to choose a copy destination below TopDir instead of /tmp/foo, just to have tested writing to the file system in question, though BackupPC is quite clearly not getting that far before the error occurs - and you are going to interrupt the process once it starts anyway (though / is not the bulk of your 100GB, I suppose). The command does not seem to give any output, so you'll have to check the copy destination to find out if anything is happening.

Regards, Holger I can run the rsync command on the client machine and it creates root level directories, but if I try to run it from the backuppc server then I get: Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input. rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (1300700 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(635) [receiver=3.0.3] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (391 bytes received so far) [generator] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(635) [generator=3.0.3] This is the only circumstance in which I've had any problem with ssh on either machine. Google suggests that this error is indicative of a machine-wide ssh problem. I'm able to ssh to the client machine as root and as the BackupPC user without any errors. Am I to take from these errors that ssh is breaking and causes the rsync errors that follow? -- Matt Chandler - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

Both machines have the same version of rsync(rsync-3.0.3-1.el4.rf) and Note that BackupPC uses File::RsyncP, so the BackupPC server machine is, in fact, *not* using 3.0.3. We see a negotiated protocol version 28 above, and File::RsyncP reportedly works with rsync version 3, so that is *probably* not the issue, though I wouldn't rule it out completely.

You might even want to choose a copy destination below TopDir instead of /tmp/foo, just to have tested writing to the file system in question, though BackupPC is quite clearly not getting that far before the error occurs - and you are going to interrupt the process once it starts anyway (though / is not the bulk of your 100GB, I suppose). The command does not seem to give any output, so you'll have to check the copy destination to find out if anything is happening. Alternatively, you could add '-P' or '-v' switches, but you'd be changing the command, and that could have an influence on whether it works or not (probably not, but who knows?).
