This is the user that is defined in your rsyncd.secrets file. It shouldn't require any other users. I would first check rsyncd.secrets and make sure you're passing the right password. You set up RsyncdUserName -> backuppc RsyncdPasswd -> samepasswordasinrsyncd.secrets in the Xfer settings of backuppc, right? > does the backuppc needs to be an administrator user of the vista machine > In my current setup it is not even a user of the vista machine. Rsyncd should be running as the SYSTEM user, so you won't need a backuppc user on the Vista machine unless you want to be able to ssh into it or the like. Are you running something like below to test? rsync -a [EMAIL PROTECTED]::home /var/lib/backuppc/testing/ -v If you're looking for a step-by-step guide that works on Vista, check out my site: http://www.cs.umd.edu/~cdunne/projs/backuppc_guide.html Cody ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ 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/
