What small detail could I be overlooking? witch user have you in /etc/backuppc/hosts? you need to have something like: linux-test 0 root The user specified in the hosts file receives email about failures and is allowed to view and restore backups through the web interface but is not relevant when making backups. You need to be able to ssh from the backuppc server as the user backuppc (or whatever the server uses) to the client as root without the password prompt. Right, I knew that.  What I don't understand is why I can't get root access without a password any more.  Any thoughts? C-ya, Mark ____ "Why not go out on a limb?
