Howdy ya'll. I'm using rsyncd as the transport mechanism for BackupPC
3.0.0, and the backup is finishing fine, but lots of files and folders
are giving me errors such as:
Remote[1]: rsync: opendir "/lost+found" (in root) failed: Permission
denied (13)
My rsyncd on the system that I am trying to backup has a simple
/etc/rsyncd.conf:
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
use chroot = no
read only = no
[root]
path = /
comment = root
exclude = /proc /tmp /data /mnt /dev /var/tmp /sys
auth users = backuppc
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
hosts allow = a b c
Any ideas of what I can look at to see why I'm getting permission
denied? I thought that rsyncd runs as user root, which would give it
full access to all files on the system, but it seems to be running as
someone else since it's getting permission problems. Who does rsyncd
run as and how do I find out? Better yet, how do I solve these errors?
Thanks!
