Hi Matthias,
Yeah looks similar. I found the issue. It looks like backuppc does a
quote around the entire value of $tarPath.
The fix is to just add the 'sudo' to TarClientCmd so it's not quoted
Also... normally you get a separate log file for errors, but there's no
error log being written to localhost's log.
It also looks like the error output goes to the main backuppc log (not
the specific host log)
That's why I had trouble finding the actual command being run and the
error log, it's not consistent log output with respect to the other
types of transfer methods which log to their own host log
I'm really not sure why there's no 'Xfer Error' log being generated for
this situation

Hi All,
After pouring through the docs the best I can, I've been unable to figure out how to enable
logging of the backup command
I'm rebuilding a backuppc server...
The localhost backup is failing and I can't figure out why, since the command isn't logged
