Ok, apparently I am particularly dense tonight. I have had the following error when setting up a host:
> Remote[1]: rsync: push_dir#3 "/home/backuppc/15" failed: No such file > or directory (2) > Remote[1]: rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs > (code 3) at main.c(602) [sender=2.6.8] > Read EOF: > Tried again: got 0 bytes > fileListReceive() failed The above directory doesn't exist and shouldn't and I don't have it anywhere in backuppc for that host. So I am trying to test using rsync via command line from the backuppc server to test the problem. The host server automatically backs up its files to a directory/files owned etc by root and I am trying to backup that host to backuppc. If I rsync from the backuppc server as root, that works. So I am trying to rsync as backuppc user. I have entered the following in visudo on the host: ## Allow root to run any commands anywhere root ALL=(ALL) ALL backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/backuppc-rsync backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD:/root/backups/ The /root/backups/ (tried with and without the last /) is where the server makes it backups in other directories and is owned by root. From the console on the backuppc server I issue the following command: rsync -avz -e "ssh -p 22" myserver.domain.net:/root/backups /var/tmp/ pwrnctmpback/rsyncmanual And I get the following: receiving file list ... rsync: link_stat "/root/backups" failed: Permission denied (13) done So obviously doing it that way, backuppc user, does not work. Can someone please tell me what the issue is? I have googled to death and don't see how to fix this.
