Hello list. I'm posting here although I'm actually running rsync from within rsnapshot, but the problem is really rsync-related. I've set up remote backups: remote client to backup from is Windows Server 2003 with sshd and rsyncd running, local server is Debian Linux (Lenny) with rsnapshot configured to use an ssh tunnel. My command line is this one: ssh -f administrator@remotehost.com -L 8873:127.0.0.1:873 sleep 10; rsnapshot -c rsnapshot.conf daily > /var/log/rsnapshot/rsnap.log What I got in my last backup is: MAPPE/mappa2007.dwg 266908 12% 40.71kB/s 0:00:41 463606 21% 25.70kB/s 0:01:05 660380 31% 25.80kB/s 0:00:57 873531 41% 29.00kB/s 0:00:45 1004788 47% 26.04kB/s 0:00:42 /usr/bin/logger -i -p user.err -t rsnapshot /usr/bin/rsnapshot -c \ rsnapshot.conf daily: ERROR: /usr/bin/rsync returned 12 while \ processing localhost::Ufficio/ /usr/bin/rsync -rltzv --port=8873 --delete --numeric-ids --delete-excluded \ --stats --progress localhost::Waliha/ \ /mnt/remote/Cometti/daily.0/Waliha/ /usr/bin/logger -i -p user.err -t rsnapshot /usr/bin/rsnapshot -c \ rsnapshot.conf daily: ERROR: /usr/bin/rsync returned 10 while \ processing localhost::Waliha/ So, there was first an exit code "12" and immediately after this an exit code "10": what could be the problem there?
