Re: [BackupPC-users] backup failed (auth failed on module cDrive) SOLVED!!!

[Bruno F. <bru...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

After a couple of Google searches I was able to find the problem. Here are
the details:

According the cygwin-rsync README.TXT file, it gave the following
configuration to use on the BackupPC host.pl file:

$Conf{XferMethod} = "rsyncd";
$Conf{RsyncdUserName}  = "user";
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd}    = "pass";
$Conf{RsyncShareName}  = "cDrive";

I double check my host.pl file multiple times but still could not find
anything wrong with it. So after my Google searches, I try putting single
quotes around the values instead of the double quotes. Like this:

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncdUserName}  = 'user';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd}    = 'pass';
$Conf{RsyncShareName}  = 'cDrive';

After that I was able to backup the windows machine using backupPC :).

Regards!
