Backup Central

How can I backup a client via rsync if I can't ping it.
I actually managed to setup the ssh link where I can login as root
without password

but the backup fail with the 'no ping response' as that client is
beyon a firewall where the ping response has been deactivated

Any idea ??

Change the command to something that will succeed:

OK I've replaced it with /bin/echo and it works perfectly

Thanks

I had a little different problem. My client will respond to ping
responses, but at times SSH service on client was started.

I have replace my ping command with

/usr/bin/ssh -l root $host true

That made sure that the client is up and running SSH service before
backuppc starts backup.


Thanks
