Hi list. I'm using OpenVPN to rsync a bunch of hosts each night and it works great on all but two of them which gives: Error in rsync protocol datastream on sync of <hostname> allmost every night. One of them is on a narrow line, so I could believe it was that causing it, but the other is on a 4Mb SDSL and should have the best connection of them all... What can cause this error, how can I determine the problem and if anyone in addition would have a suggestion for a sollution I'd be really really happy... Thanx a bunch Sturla

That leads me to believe that the error is not from rsync itself but from some other tool that wraps rsync and interprets the exit code of 12. To have any idea what the problem is, we need to know the complete error message that rsync itself prints before exiting. You could look for that message in any relevant log files. Matt
