A second backup then becomes much simpler. thanks to all for the advice. I only just got around to attempt the file transfer (using rsync) between the machines.
I have two machines with rsync-3.0.9. The source machine had rsync installed in a chroot environment (as per clfs ) I ran rsync like so:- a) source machine: rysnc --daemon -c /etc/rsyncd.conf b) dest. machine: rsync -avz SOURCE_IP:sourceDir/ destDir/ the transfer aborts before starting. It ends with a message (destination machine ) of the type below:- #--------------------------- error in IPC code ( code 4 ) at io.c(1532) Receiver [3.0.9] #--------------------------- advice would be appreciated sincerely luxInteg -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
