I am using BackupPC 4.0 on a debian distro to backup two
windows computers running Cygwin. I am
using rsyncd as the vehicle to back them up.
When I try to start a backup, the backup fails apparently because of an
rsync_bpc issue. The log file entries
are below:

In
one of the log files, it indicates the following: “Running:
/usr/local/bin/rsync_bpc” and it has the following error message: “ERROR:
failed to read a password from /data/BackupPC/pc/agm-pc/.rsyncdpw5658”.
Does anyone recognize that error and know what
it means? It seems as though it needs some sort of password but I don't know
where to input a password. The only password I know of is in the secrets file
on the target Windows machines, but this looks like it is not even connecting
to even get that far.
Thanks in advance.
