I'm new to rsync, and am setting up two servers (Fedora Core 1) - one bing the "primary" and one the "backup".
primary: 10.28.123.232 backup: 10.28.123.230 On the primary server, I have the following rsyncd.conf file: pid file = /var/run/rsync.pid path = / use chroot = false read only = true list = false uid = 0 gid = 0 hosts allow = 10.28.123.230 >From the backup server, I try to run the following commands, but get errors: rsync -v 10.28.123.232::10.28.123.230 rsync failed to connect to 10.28.123.232: connection refused rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(83) I then tried (from the backup server) the following: rsync -v 10.28.123.232:10.28.123.230 connecting to address 10.28.123.232: Connection refused trying krb4.rsh... connecting to address 10.28.123.232: Connection refused trying normal rsh (/usr/bin/rsh) 10.28.123.232: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (o bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 21) at IO.c (165) >From everything i've read, it should be correct, but still not working. Can anyone please point out what I could be doing wrong? My goal is to have the backup server take a complete backup of the /etc and /home and /var directories every night, but want to get at least some files moving before I start specifying what "to" and "not to" move.
