Hi Thanks for the support. I installed the File:Listing module and my backups are working now.

Re: [BackupPC-users] RSYNC xfer failing backuppc version 3.2.0beta0
Hi Thanks for the Reply. The xfer method ftp in the error confused me as well, from the CGI interface it is set to rsync When I check the hosts config file there is NO line for xfer method if I manually add it, it seems to ignore it. This is a new install so I thought I would try the beta version do you recommend I go back to the stable version?

Hi, Tim Hall wrote on 2009-04-13 10:30:19 -0700 [Re: [BackupPC-users] RSYNC xfer failing backuppc version?3.2.0beta0]: Hi Thanks for the Reply. The xfer method ftp in the error confused me as well, from the CGI interface it is set to rsync When I check the hosts config file there is NO line for xfer method if I manually add it, it seems to ignore it. as Craig explained, the error message does *not* mean that BackupPC is trying to use 'ftp' as XferMethod. You can't avoid the error by changing the XferMethod, you need to install File::Listing (for Debian, that's in libwww-perl - 'apt-get install libwww-perl'). This is a new install so I thought I would try the beta version do you recommend I go back to the stable version? Well, you've just found a bug that nobody would have noticed who happens to have File::Listing installed. That's a good thing. If you want to help test the beta version before it is released, I'm sure that will be appreciated. If you prefer to have a working setup with as little hassle as possible (not that I'd expect many problems with the beta version), use the stable version. You can check the changelog to see if 3.2.0 has any improvements you really need (such as XferMethod ftp), but most of us do just fine with 3.x or even 2.x versions.
