Good, a backup of this client should work just fine. > From the backuppc server to the client2 it asks for a password. Problem: you must add the SSH key of the backuppc user (/var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_dsa.pub or id_rsa.pub in the BackupPC server) to the authorized keys file of the root user (/root/.ssh/authorized_keys or the deprecated authorized_keys2) on client2. > From the client1 to the backuppc server it asks for a password If it worked with "sudo -u backuppc" then it is wrong in that client1 should not have a "backuppc" user. Remove it. > >From the client2 to the backuppc server i get this error: > # sudo -u backuppc ssh -p 22252 r...@backup-server > sudo: no passwd entry for backuppc! Good, that is what is expected. > Which is where i tried to add the backuppc user to the client machine > to see if that was the problem. Wrong. Remove it. > If i understand correctly the client is acting as the ssh server? Yes.
