[BackupPC-users] Backups failing with fileListReceive failed.

[Mark A. <mar...@gm...>]

A Google search indicates that this may be a problem with rsync, but I 
can't find anything more specific and I don't know enough about rsync 
over ssh or backuppc to know where to start troubleshooting. Can someone 
please enlighten me?

I would really appreciate it.

Here is the log file from a failed transaction:

Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the 
prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 0)
