Hello all, I'm a new user of BackupPC with some questions (moving away from Amanda). OS: CentOS 8.3 BackupPC version 4.4.0
I followed the guide on https://kifarunix.com/install-and-configure-backuppc-on-centos-8/ and all looks good but... I don't like using the root user on the client side for backups, never allow root to login via ssh. So how do I generate ssh keys for the backuppc user on the server ? The user backuppc does not own the /var/lib/BackupPC dir so it can't generate the keys. Backuppc-server# sudo -u backuppc ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/var/lib/BackupPC/.ssh/id_rsa): Could not create directory '/var/lib/BackupPC/.ssh': Permission denied Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Saving key "/var/lib/BackupPC/.ssh/id_rsa" failed: No such file or directory Backuppc-server# ll /var/lib/ drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Feb 2 14:58 BackupPC If I can get that to work I will create a low-privileged user on each client that has sudo privileges for running rsync. That should work. Many thank for any help. /Arnar Fyrirvari/disclaimer<https://www.isavia.is/fyrirvari> [Isavia logo]<https://www.isavia.is/arsskyrsla2019>
