I'm moving BackupPC to a new machine, running SUSE 11.2. After
installation I get nothing but the dreaded pink background and:
'backup failed (Unable to read 4 bytes)'
messages for each host being backed up. Yet, if I start a backup via:
sudo -u backuppc /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f<host>
I do indeed get the backup, along with verbose output, provided I keep
tabs on each backup section, since a password is required at each section.
What little detail am I missing here?
To tell us something about your configuration
- connection to client (smb-share, ssh, rsync, ... )
- xfermethod (smb, rsync, rsyncd, ... )
- OS of client
The connections to clients are all ssh
Xfer method is rsync
Client OSes are OS X and Linux
Currently I'm testing this by putting the backed up files on the server but
plan to
move them to a USB hard drive when all is in operating order.
The $Conf{RsyncShareName} entries usually have multiple entries; the
BackupPC_dump
fails during the transition from entry to entry if I'm not immediately there to
input the root
password. The files are being backed up but it sure isn't automatic.
It almost seems like I'm getting timeouts and need to change some configuration
setting
to avoid it.
I never had this problem with the
old machine running SUSE 11.1.
