Backup Central

Hi,

I've been using rsnapshot 1.3 for some months now on OpenWRT KAMIKAZE
r6772, running on a Asus WL700g. This box is supposed to backup my
xen-domains. But I just found out it doesn;t work :(

To get the commands executed, I run /usr/local/bin/rsnapshot -t hourly.

I just pick one of the outputted commands, and execute them by hand,
which results in:

root < at > router:/hdd/rsnap# /opt/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids
--relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh -p 22 -i
/etc/dropbear/id_rsa root < at > www.bartbaars.nl:/home /hdd/hourly.0/home/
rsync: link_stat "/hdd/rsnap/22" failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync: link_stat "/hdd/rsnap/root < at > www.bartbaars.nl:/home" failed: No
such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at
main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9]

Now, when I add some extra quotes, all works fine:

root < at > router:/hdd/rsnap# /opt/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids
--relative --delete-excluded --rsh="/usr/bin/ssh -p 22 -i
/etc/dropbear/id_rsa" root < at > www.bartbaars.nl:/home /hdd/hourly.0/home/

Is there anyway I can patch RSnapshot, so the quotes will always be
included?

Cheers,

Bart

Sorry for the previous mail btw, wrong button at the wrong time ;)

Bart,

I take it you only have a problem if you take the command as it is
logged and manually execute it. We haven't taken too much trouble
to support a method of operation where people cut & paste output
from the log file and then run that.

When rsnapshot actually runs the commands (in non-test mode),
it doesn't need quotes because rsnapshot stores and executes
the commands as separate words.

Is there any problem if you run
/usr/local/bin/rsnapshot hourly
(without -t)?
