After losing my /var/lib/backuppc drive, I have installed a new drive and mounted it. But now any computer I try to backup results in the following error: Got fatal error during xfer (Unable to read 4 bytes) Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes) Looking through various posts one would think the error has to do with having properly setup public keys for the servers. But those are fine. Nothing has changed there. Permissions throughout the new drive are set to: :/var/lib/backuppc# ls -la total 4 drwxr-sr-x 10 backuppc backuppc 224 Mar 20 10:54 . drwxr-xr-x 43 root root 4096 Aug 24 2012 .. drwxr-sr-x 18 backuppc backuppc 432 Mar 29 11:48 cpool drwxr-sr-x 2 backuppc backuppc 464 Mar 29 11:46 log drwxr-sr-x 11 backuppc backuppc 384 Mar 29 11:46 pc drwxr-sr-x 10 backuppc backuppc 352 Mar 20 10:51 pool drwx--S--- 2 backuppc backuppc 80 Mar 29 11:43 .ssh drwxr-sr-x 2 backuppc backuppc 48 Mar 29 06:03 trash What am I missing? Thanks! |

Additionally I did the following test: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root SERVER1 /usr/bin/rsync --list-only /home/ And it listed everything on the home directory of the Server I want to backup without entering any password. |

I would still check out your keys. On your backuppc server, su to your backuppc user and run: ssh root@one-of-your-servers-to-be-backed-up whoami and you should not get anything returned but root. You might get prompted to re-accept the SSH key - accept it and run again and you should get just root again. Or, if you get a different error, fix that and you should be set.

Are you sure backuppc's home and thus the .ssh directory aren't under /var/lib/backuppc on your system? -- Les Mikesell les...@gm... |

Les was on the money. It was the fact that /var/lib/backuppc is the home directory for backuppc and I wasn't testing as backuppc. Reinstalling the keys to the other server fixed the prob! |

Yes - that's why I'd said "On your backuppc server, su to your backuppc user and run:" - gotta doing it as the backuppc user. ;-) Chris On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 1:28 PM, Curtis Vaughan <cav...@gm...> wrote: > Les was on the money.
