I too am running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 with an XP client.
Have a look at my config files. It took me some time
to figure this all out. This is what works for me.
My XP is Pro but the difference here should not
matter.

I had problems making rsyncd work on XP pro. I ended up giving up and
using Samba rather than rsyncd. After I got past the authentication
problem with rsyncd the backup would eventually not finish for some
reason that I could never track down. Samba did not work well until I
added a list of fil
I have a BackupPC installation running on Ubuntu Server 6.06 LTS. The
server is working fine, but I can't get a Windows XP Home computer to
successfully backup. I installed the rsyncd service (downloaded from
the backuppc project page on sourceforge). When I attempt a backup I
get the following
Finally got it figured out!
There was a file in the .nx temp folder that did not
have Administrator privileges. I gave it the correct

everything runs great now.
Thanks so much for all your help!

Seems fine right up till it randomly comes up with a
path that does not exist.

If I tell it to ONLY backup the rsyncd directory then
it is successful.

I have checked the setting based on your
recommendations and this is what I now have trying to
simplify.

Hi,
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/utils/backuppc shows it to be
backuppc (2.1.2-2ubuntu5)

I am running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 and got backuppc from
the package manager (dont know the version, how do I
find it?)
I have the backuppc user in the administrators group

Hello list,
I have successfully backed up my WinXP boxes with SMB
but now would like to use Rsyncd due to the ability to
backup changed files. (Thats half the reason for a
backup isnt it?)

Rsyncd cgwin files and the service is running on the
20 matches
