You must be able to ssh from the user account (backuppc) to the root user of the target system without entering a password.
You should be in the backuppc user environment, i.e.: normal_user: $ sudo su - backuppc backuppc_user: $ ssh root@host If this doesn't work you won't get any further with backuppc. NOTE: you will need to accept the RSA key on attempt to SSH to the remote box. -Colin > I've worn the GOoLgE keys off of my keyboard... > > Terry > > -----Original Message----- > From: Holger Parplies [mailto:wb...@parplies.de] > Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2014 3:28 PM > To: General list for user discussion, questions and support > Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] PIPE error > > Hi, > > Les Mikesell wrote on 2014-11-20 12:26:39 -0600 [Re: [BackupPC-users] PIPE > error]: >> On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 12:08 PM, tschmid4 <tschm...@utk.edu> wrote: >>> Correct, It's a question, here's another: >>> You are correct, the configuration was backing up a dir that was not there. >>> However, after removing the entry, it returns the same error. >>> What else would cause 'unable to read 4 bytes?' > An error in your configuration would. > >> Unable to read 4 bytes is not the same error as: >> "Remote[1]: rsync: change_dir "/systems" failed: No such file or directory >> (2)" > In particular, "unable to read 4 bytes" is not the error we're talking about. > "Unable to read 4 bytes" was *eventually* resolved despite your (the OPs) > efforts.
