Hello, I am trying to set up a rsync backup server. So far I have it working with my linux machines. I am now trying to get it to work with OSX.2. From my backup server i am executing "rsync --delete --progress --stats -avRe ssh --exclude=/Volumes/ --numeric-ids client.physics.ucla.edu:/ /mnt/keg1/backups/client/current/". and using an ssh key with the command="rsync --server --sender -vlogDtprR --delete --numeric-ids . /" I keep getiing an "unexpected tag 25" error. Does anybodyu know what tag25 is? or where i could find out? I have tried the command without the command= in the key to make sure it wasn't the problem. The strange thing is that when i run the same command above, but instead of trying to backup / i do /Users/, it works. i.e. "rsync --delete --progress --stats -avvvRe ssh --exclude=/Volumes/ --numeric-ids client.physics.ucla.edu:/Users/ /mnt/keg1/backups/client/current/" I am running the job as root on both machines. Any ideas? Thanks, Michael
