I was talking to the deamon before for sure. (Otherwise the backup would never have worked. There is no other source except the daemon. Also I looked at the network traffic once in a while. Everything was fine.) I will come back to that colon thing below... > Proof that the daemon is running and listening doesn't mean that you > actually connected to it. True. And there's no network traffic anymore - rsync just fails with said error message. To me this means, rsync can determine that something is wrong from the parameters already. > If you have an old image from when it still worked, you can check the > summary file for the ACTION line which shows what actually was executed. ACTION: rsync -vrltH --delete -pgo --stats -z -D --numeric-ids --password-file=/path/to/passwordfile --port=6666 --exclude-from=/backups//myvault/20090812-16:54/exclude --link-dest=/backups//myvault/20090809-05:42/tree rsync://[email protected]:6666:/full/ /backups//myvault/20090812-16:54/tree It is the same for backups from before and after the update. Now, "rsync://[email protected]:6666:/full/" is not valid anymore, I wonder what it should look like. Looking at the rsync man page, the tree should start with a slash, not a colon: rsync [OPTION...] rsync://[u...@]host[:PORT]/SRC... [DEST] This page: http://www.dirvish.org/debian.howto.html says so, too. I just removed the colon: rsync -vrltH --delete -pgo --stats -z -D --numeric-ids --password-file=/path/to/password-file --port=6666 --link-dest=/backups//myvault/20090913-17:38/tree rsync://[email protected]:6666/full/ /backups//myvault/20090813-17:38/tree And - tadah - it works! So the question is: How do I get rid of that colon? (Or what should I add...?) Again, here are the first two lines of my default.conf: client: rsync://[email protected]:6666 tree: /full >From these lines dirvish creates this: rsync (...) rsync://[email protected]:6666:/full/ /DEST n. _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
