as usual security issue. I forgot that ssh is connecitng to root , but it is using the backuppc user to the pub key needs to be in its home direcotry.
Once the pub key was created the backup runs fine. For for everybody else: the script is connecting to the root used on the remote machine that is to be backe dup but it uses the backuppc user so make sure you test it can connect using its private key before running the backup: test by using sudo -u backuppc /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root remote_machine_ip or whatever the username of the backuppc deamon is running under. not using /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root remote_machine_ip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.
