Hi there list :)
I use backuppc to take backup of a bunch of hosts, but I ran into problems
with the last one I set up, I can't find anything that is different on
this one...but it won't work...
So any hints would be greatly appreciated, here are the files
ryncd.conf:
log file=/var/log/rsyncd
pid file=/var/run/rsyncd.pid
[all]
comment = All disk
path = /
use chroot = no
lock file = /var/lock/rsyncd
read only = no
list = yes
uid = root
gid = root
auth users = backuppc
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
strict modes = no
ignore errors = yes
ignore nonreadable = yes
transfer logging = no
timeout = 600
dont compress = *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.rpm *.deb *.iso *.bz2 *.tbz
And the corresponding .pl file in /etc/backuppc on the server:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['all'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} ={
'all' =>
['/tmp',
'/proc',
'/boot',
'/sys',
'/var/run',
'/boot',
'/dev',
'/media',
'/mnt']
};
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'user';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'password';
The server can ping the host by name.
The problem is that when I try to run a full backup it fails at once with
the following in the rsync-log:
2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] connect from backuppc (192.168.0.59)
2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] rsync on . from backuppc at backuppc (192.168.0.59)
2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] building file list
2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4
bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data
stream (code 12) at io.c(1122) [sender=2.6.9]
Why is it trying to rsync on ".", I'm asking it to rsync "all" aren't I?
Other hosts with the exact same .pl file is working fine, and if I
manually runs:
"rsync -aPv rsync://backuppc@192.168.0.41/all ." it runs fine...
Any ideas or pointers greatly appreciated :)
Thanx
Sturla
