I've setup three computers to backup with this howto. Two of the machines are linux the third is a windows machine. The windows machine backups perfectly. I created a seperate config.pl file for the windows to run samba. The two linux machines are running a config.pl that is backing up using rsync. The linux machines seems to see the server just fine with all the tests run within the howto. The problem I'm having is I'm getting the same error on both linux machines: XferLOG.bad: Code: Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/COMPUTER/XferLOG.bad, modified 2007-04-18 22:00:01 Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root COMPUTER /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --devices --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive -D --ignore-times . /home/ Xfer PIDs are now 21979 Got remote protocol 1953722184 Fatal error (bad version): Host key verification failed. fileListReceive() failed Done: 0 files, 0 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed) Backup aborted by user signal
fixed The problem I had was fixed. This is how I fixed it: Code: su backuppc Code: ssh -l root 192.168.x.x whoami AND Code: ssh -l root comuptername whoami Then to test it Code: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f "computername" The howto should be noted that the FAQ in the documentation of BackupPC has ssh -l root clientHostName whoami to verify the command. Not ssh -l root 192.168.x.x whoami.
