I'm trying to setup a backup system for my home-office LAN which consists of three Xubuntu Hardy 8.04.4 boxes and one that runs Win98SE. Initially I've left the Windows box out of the mix; the three Xubuntu boxes are configured to use tar rather than rsync, and while I'm getting it to work I'm only backing up /etc on each box. I've got ssh working and the BackupPC server is accessible from all three, but attempts to do either full or incremental backups fail. Here's a typical Xfer.LOG report, from localhost:
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -n -l backuppc localhost sudo env LC_ALL=C /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /etc --totals --newer=2010-06-27 08:56:28 . incr backup started back to 2010-06-27 08:56:28 (backup #0) for directory /etc Xfer PIDs are now 26333,26332 Tar exited with error 65280 () status tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0 filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal Got fatal error during xfer (Tar exited with error 65280 () status) Backup aborted (Tar exited with error 65280 () status) (I've inserted extra line spaces to keep the report from running together.) I haven't found any documentation to tell me what the "65280" tar error means; localhost did run one full backup when I was getting things set up so I would expect incrementals to work.
