<p>I am using the 'backup to a central backup server with 7 day
incremental' example to archive three separate computers to
identically configured (apart from name) shares on a Western
Digital 'MyBookLive' NAS which has rsync enabled. The backup from
two Raspberry Pi Computers operates without a problem but the
backup from a Fedora 32 computer fails with an 'unknown module
Linux1' error message. The only difference between the code in the
.sh module for all three computers is the name of the share(Linux1
for the Fedora Computer) and the home directory.<br>

# This script does personal backups to a rsync backup server. You
will end up<br>
# with a 7 day rotating incremental backup. The incrementals will
go<br>
# into subdirectories named after the day of the week, and the
current<br>
# full backup goes into a directory called "current"<br>

<p>Can anyone explain why this is happening please?</p>
