Hi All,
I think I have solved the problem...
Following instructions on the backuppc configuration documentation, I
created the following per-pc config.pl for my linux client (wisla):
do "../conf/config.pl";
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncClientPath} = '/usr/bin/rsync';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x l root $host $rsyncPath
$argList+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin',
'/usr/local/apache2/htdocs',
'/etc/asterisk',
'/home/voip',
'/var/log/asterisk',
'/home/voip/dbbackup',
'/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail',
'/var/spool/asterisk/monitor',
'/var/spool/asterisk/fax'
];
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
'--verbose',
'--numeric-ids',
'--perms',
'--owner',
'--group',
'--devices',
'--links',
'--times',
'--block-size=2048',
'--recursive'
];
$Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} = [
'--numeric-ids',
'--perms',
'--owner',
'--group',
'--devices',
'--links',
'--times',
'--block-size=2048',
'--relative',
'--ignore-times',
'--recursive'
];
But for some reason, it seemed that $argList in:
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+'
was replaced with the restoreArgs rather than the rsyncArgs listed above
(see the error msg in my first email below).
So after commenting the restore variables $Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} and
$Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs}, I was able to backup.
However, anyone have any idea why this happened?
Kindly,

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Unable to read 4 bytes error
Hi,
I am trying to set up the rsync XferMethod to backup a linux (Mandrake)
machine.
- I have added the host to the hosts list
- created a config.pl file that overrides the general smb method config
- set up openssh on the client and server according to the backuppc
documentation
I cannot understand why this appears on the Xfer Log when I try to backup:
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root wisla
/usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --verbose --numeric-ids --perms --owner --g
roup --devices --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times
. /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/
Xfer PIDs are now 18527
Read EOF: Connection reset by peer
Tried again: got 0 bytes
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (Unable to read 4 bytes)
Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes)
Any ideas anyone please?
I am used to setting up rsyncd and smb and am using rsync as a last resort
method now.
Kind Regards
