Backup Central

Hi...

This is the first time i'm using rdiff-backup. I'm trying to run it
using kcron. This is the command that i put inside kcron.

rdiff-backup /tmp/test root < at > host::/tmp/backup

and this is the error that i got in /var/mail/root.

Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
Fatal Error: Truncated header string (problem probably originated remotely)

Couldn't start up the remote connection by executing

ssh -C root < at > host rdiff-backup --server

Remember that, under the default settings, rdiff-backup must be
installed in the PATH on the remote system. See the man page for more
information on this. This message may also be displayed if the remote
version of rdiff-backup is quite different from the local version (0.12.7).

I really need some help. Thanks!

The error message above is from ssh, not rdiff-backup. First do what
you need to do with ssh, so that the user for whom your kcron scheduled
job is run can log into the remote host without providing a password and
get a shell prompt.

If you're also new to SSH key-based authentication, Google for:

authorized_keys howto

Once the user on the local host can log into the remote host without
providing a password, then you can return to rdiff-backup.
