Re: Backup Command

[Carl Cook <CACook@quantum-sci.com>]

Apparently my command is no good.  No one ever responded to my question below, so maybe I'm not smart enough to ask the right way.

I can ssh from the backup server to the HTPC, but it crashes with a 'dirty' error:
# rsync --progress --archive --hard-links --links --delete-during --delete-excluded --inplace --numeric-ids -e "ssh -l root" root@hex:///home /media/backups/hex-home
root@hex's password: 
protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean?
(see the rsync man page for an explanation)
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(173) [Receiver=3.0.7]

"see the rsync man page for an explanation"?  No idea where, but it's sure not in the first third.  I have the same rsync and ssh on each.
