I have used BackupPC to backup a COS system to itself before, it was being used in parallel to Bare metal for full disaster recovery, and it worked fine.
I'm now trying to put it in place on a system that has the Active Directory Connector installed.
It runs but any attempt to backup the server fails with:
Totally lost as to how to fix this.

full backup started for directory /home
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root frm-srv-fw1.avx.com /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /home/
Xfer PIDs are now 18860
Read EOF: Connection reset by peer
Tried again: got 0 bytes
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (Unable to read 4 bytes)
Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes)Totally lost as to how to fix this.

I tried the command in full from a command line with --verbose added as a parameter. I've also tried just the latter half of the command
/usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perm --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --verbose --ignore-times . /home/
In both cases it just sits there, no output no nothing.
Adding --logfile=SOME
No file was created. -

The full command is opening an ssh session to frm-srv-fw1.avx.com. ssh does not allow the scripting of passwords so I assume backupPC is doing that in the background. I suggest you try the full command again, and when the screen "just sits there", try typing the root password for frm-srv-fw1.avx.com and pressing enter. Otherwise I am unsure what to do.
