Hi Les, I'm not getting something about setting up to use rsync to backup /home on localhost. The instructions that I filed for generating keys is:
Setting up BackupPC software to run rsync using visudo: Create user backuppc on the server and each client. Then generate keys for your server backuppc user: backuppc$> ssh-keygen -t rsa use ssh-copy-id to copy the pub key to each of the clients backuppc$>ssh-copy-id client Likewise, on each client generate keys for backuppc user: backuppc$> ssh-keygen -t rsa use ssh-copy-id to copy the pub key to the server: backuppc$>ssh-copy-id archive-server On the archiving server, backuppc would ssh-copy-id localhost ?? Where does the reciprocal key come from ?? -- ken On Mon, 2012-01-23 at 20:43 -0600, Les Mikesell wrote: > On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 8:13 PM, Kenneth L.
