Oli, Thanks for the reply. About 1 hour after I sent my email I realized that the issue was not with sudo, but with SSH and as you state below, the key. Once I realized this I was able to get the login working without the password :)
Now, I am seeing if I have everything else configured correctly and trying to do a full back up. Fingers crossed.

I try to write down the steps I did: - In OS X System Preferences choose Sharing and make sure you enabled remote login (I am pretty sure you already did this) - I assume that you have a user backuppc on your host client. Make sure, that the user backuppc is able to log in by ssh without a pw. Otherwise it would not run. (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html) - In OS X System Preferences choose Security and then the tab Privacy and make sure that sshd and sshd-keygen-wrapper have full access to the hard disc. I use rsync only for my home folder. So eventuelly you have to add rsync to if you want to backup other system directories - For rsync I installer homebrew (brew.sh). With this you can install a native rsync version with brew install rsync. I am not sure of backuppc works with the OS's native rsync. - The images show my settings in the web frontend of backuppc <Settings1.png> <Settings2.png> <Settings3.png> I hope this helps. But I am sure that the problem is that the user backuppc cannot login to your machine without a key.

I am trying to set it up with rsync now instead of samba, but I am having issues. I’ve gone through a couple of articles I found on the interweb but not quite there. I have upgraded my Mac to rsync version 3.1.3, which I read you have to be on rsync 3.x. I created a rsyncd.conf and I have put my 2 shares that I want to back up from my Mac in this file. I also went through the ssh set up and created keys and swapped them with the client and server. I also put my username in the sudoers file on my Mac. I set it to NOPASSWD and also set it so that it can only use the rsync command. So this is what I have in sudoers file: dwilliams ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/rsync When I try and test this out with the following command it is always prompting me for the password and I have no idea why. Entering the password does provide the correct information. ssh -l dwilliams davesmac sudo /usr/local/bin/rsync --version I thought the line I had put in the sudoers file would ensure it would not prompt for a password. What am I doing wrong and how can I get this working so that I can start backing up my Mac again? Any help would be much appreciated.

It works pretty fine for me. I used to to use tar to backup the files from my mac. After the catalina upgrade it stopped working. Haven't found out why, since I was using gtar from Homebrew. Switching to rsync solved the problem. Regards, Oli David Williams schrieb am 16.10.19 um 16:24: Robert, Thanks for that. What commands would I need to give access to though?
