I'm attempting to back up some files off Akamai Netstorage (a remote fileshare similar to EC2), which has a rsync-over-ssh interface. They support protocol version 29, and rsync 2.6.6. It appears that File::RsyncP only supports protocol version 28, and something is going wonky. Here's the output of the log:
"full backup started for directory / Running: /usr/bin/ssh -C -q -i /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_dsa_akamai -x -l sshacs <host> /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . / Xfer PIDs are now 23993 Got remote protocol 29 Negotiated protocol version 28 Remote[98]: n <junk>" <junk> appears to be a list of the files, with ugly binary breaks between -- I'm guessing it's the raw dump of the protocol list as rsync sends it. I suspect a problem on Akamai's implementation with the way that it negotiates protocol 28. First of all - is there a version of File::RsyncP that supports protocol version 29? If not - is it possible to configure BackupPC to use rsync itself instead of using the Perl modules? Or is that a hard requirement for BackupPC?
