For this communication, I choose to call this command a "troubleshoot 
command" because it is the first suggestion to try from the backuppc 
wiki page. The "-v" of the 'BackupPC_dump" portion gives verbose output, 
so users can see what is happen and diagnose failure issues.

When I ran this command, the only thing I remember having to do, in each 
case was, agree that the host was to be added to the 'known_host' file. 
If I understand ssh correctly, that would be the client being added to 
the server (backuppc server) 'known_host' file.

I guess I will read up on ssh. If I am correct, I did not scp anything 
to the server form the client, essentially telling the server that this 
client is acceptable.

I think if I study this issue, more intently, I will discover it is an 
piece of the setup process I messed up.

But, thanks for your suggestion and thoughts. I appreciate it.
