Hello,
Been working on this for a couple days and I am stuck!
Followed the CentOS WIKI on BackupPC to the letter. It may be outdated, not
sure. I also looked at the tutorial on HowToForge.
I'm trying to get a windows client to backup via smb.
I created the user 'backuppc' on the windows client with admin priviledges.
I can map the drive/share from my CentOS Samba server using 'backuppc'
credentials.
Here's the error:
full backup started for directory /
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root hp8200 /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender
--numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times
--block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /
Xfer PIDs are now 27000
Read EOF: Connection reset by peer
Tried again: got 0 bytes
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (Unable to read 4 bytes)
Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes)
Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior
one (got 0 and 0 files versus 0)
/etc/BackupPC/hp8200.pl
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'xxxxxxxx';
$Conf{SmbShareName} = 'C';
Looking at the -l option it appears 'root' is trying to login. Windows
doesn't use a root account per se.
Do I need to change something in the config.pl?
TIA
