Hi, I seem to be having an issue with backing up a client via rsync. The client is a VMware ESX host (modified RedHat install). I have browsed all the archives I can find and followed them as best I can. If I issue the following command from the backuppc server
ssh -l root 10.10.137.231 whoami from either the root account or the backuppc account I get a reply of root without having to enter anything (ie/. Does not prompt for a password or to accept a key). >From the backuppc server I have also entered: su - backuppc -s /bin/bash and then I try and run the backup manually to see what happens here is the command I have used: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f mnfsbvm1 and I get the following: cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 mnfsbvm1 cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING mnfsbvm1 (10.10.137.231) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from mnfsbvm1 (10.10.137.231): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=1.14 ms --- mnfsbvm1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.148/1.148/1.148/0.000 ms cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 mnfsbvm1 cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING mnfsbvm1 (10.10.137.231) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from mnfsbvm1 (10.10.137.231): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=1.18 ms --- mnfsbvm1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.186/1.186/1.186/0.000 ms CheckHostAlive: returning 1.18 started full dump, share=vmconfigs Connected to mnfsbvm1:873, remote version 26 Connected to module vmconfigs Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --devices --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --checksum-seed=32761 --include=/ --ignore-times . .
