Package: backupninja
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Backupninja fails to run a rsync action such as:
[general]
mountpoint = /tmp
backupdir = test
format = mirror
[source]
from = local
include = /home
numericids = 1
The output gives the following error:
Info: >>>> starting action 10.test.rsync (because of --now)
Debug: yes
Debug: executing handler in locked section controlled by
/var/lock/backupninja/10.test.rsync
Info: Syncing /home on /tmp/test//home//...
Debug: nice -n 0 /usr/bin/rsync -av --delete --recursive //home/
/tmp/test//home//
su: unrecognized option '--delete'
Usage: su [options] [LOGIN]
Options:
-c, --command COMMAND pass COMMAND to the invoked shell
-h, --help display this help message and exit
-, -l, --login make the shell a login shell
-m, -p,
--preserve-environment do not reset environment variables, and
keep the same shell
-s, --shell SHELL use SHELL instead of the default in passwd
Fatal: Rsync error 2 when trying to transfer /home
Fatal: <<<< finished action 10.test.rsync: FAILED
Debug: send report to root
Info: FINISHED: 1 actions run. 1 fatal. 0 error. 0 warning.
Running backupninja through `bash -x` shows that the `--delete` option
from the rsync command is not included in the single quote for the `su
-c` command:
nice -n 0 su -c '/usr/bin/rsync -av' --delete '--recursive
--delete-excluded //home/ /tmp/test//home//'
By the way, the command in the debugging output differs from what is
being run by backupninja (it doesn't show the `su -c` part).
