Try it using the backup server user. Put your private key in your backuppc user's .ssh directory and then as root on your backup server run: su - backuppc and now that you are the backuppc user, try: ssh root@clientHostName whoami and see if that works. Once this works, you should be all set.

I should note that i successfully logged into the client machine via ssl from the backuppc server without needing a password; "ssh -l root clientHostName whoami" and it spit out root for me. +-- |This was sent by derr...@mascon

I should add that i have no problems doing a no password ssh login from the backup server; root@backup:~# ssh -l root cableweb3.ca whoami The authenticity of host 'cableweb3.ca (50.21.229.37)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 3e:4c:c3:ac:96:a8:e0:8c:88:93:88:b2:e9:77:11:62. Are you su

An HP Microserver costs £200 if you get it when a rebate is running. Add in four disks and you've got a powerful BackupPC server / NAS. That's what I use at home as a media store. However, it helps to be comfortable configuring Linux services at the command line. If that's daunting, install webmin

For the what it's worth dept: I've got an old dual core Pentium D 3.0 system, 2g ram running a 1TB BackupPC volume (going to be upgraded to software raid-1) backing up 41 PC's. Since I don't backup during open hours (M-F, 7am-5pm) I have the luxury of using Clonezilla and an eSata external

Whatever you think about the BackupPC- don't forget the power consumption! I had a dedicated server as drbd device- but as it was powered on 24/7 I decided to look for a cheater solution. Now I'm using a NAS which holds the redundant disks. Ways better from power consumtion... --

BackupPC has been installed on QNAP devices ( http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/How_to_install_the_BackupPC_application), but there's a very real chance that bi-monthly firmware upgrades will break it. That and the fact that we're waiting for QNAP to upgrade some packages to close some security holes mean

Any suggestions which NAS has a "real" useful Linux, so that backupPC could be installed? My thought was to run backuppc on NAS, so it is not dependent on user clients. It can even chase clients to backup them while being on. Another issue would be how to slow down backing up clients, so people
