I don't know what /root/backups/ is doing here.. sudoers is which
commands a user should be able to execute as root... nothing else! You
do not need that line.
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
Try something like this:
rsync -avz -e "/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/backuppc-rsync"
[email protected]:/root/backups /var/tmp/pwrnctmpback/
rsyncmanual
Tried this:
rsync -avz -e "/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/backuppc-rsync" "ssh -p
22" myserver.domain.net:/root/backups /var/tmp/pwrnctmpback/rsyncmanual
sudo is there in that directory. Get the following:
building file list ... rsync: link_stat "/home/backuppc/ssh -p 22"
failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync: link_stat "/home/backuppc/fmbbilling.farm-market.net:/root/
backups" failed: No such file or directory (2)
done
Also move the /usr/bin/sudo stuff to other positions and essentially
got the same.
This says to login to the remote machine as user backuppc, then run
the
command /usr/bin/sudo (change that depending on where your sudo
command
is), which will give you root access and call
/usr/local/bin/backuppc-rsync for you. Assuming
/usr/local/bin/backuppc-rsync is a copy of a normal rsync binary, this
will do what you need, although you don't actually need to use a
non-standard path/binary. You could just as easily list /usr/bin/rsync
in the sudoers file, and call the normal /usr/bin/rsync instead.
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.
You didn't call sudo, therefore you never got root permissions...
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Adam
