Just posting this as a change in the format of the rsync server/sender command tripped me up when I upgraded from rsync-bpc 3.0.9 to 3.1.2.
Specifically, I use my /etc/sudoers file to restrict the scope of the backuppc and backuppc-client users as narrowly as possible. For rsync_bpc < 3.1.x, the following worked: backuppc,backuppc-client ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync --server--sender -slHogDtpAXrxe.iLsf, /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender -slHogDtpAXrcxe.iLsf However, for rsync_bpc >= 3.1.x, the following is required: backuppc,backuppc-client ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender -slHogDtpAXrxe.iLsfxC, /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender -slHogDtpAXrcxe.iLsfxC where the extra characters 'xC' have been added. Perhaps Craig can explain what additional options they signal... Note the absence/presence of 'c' before the period corresponds to incremental/full backups respectively. Anyway, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why rsync_bpc >3.1.x wasn't working for me... until I figured this out... lots of wasted time :( _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
