====Backup a Linux host through rsync====
To configure a Linux host client to be backed up, configure SSH from the backup server as follows in order to exchange certificates and to perform a login without passwords.
At the BackupPC server command line as root:
su -s /bin/bash backuppc
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 # use a blank passphrase
exit
Assuming SSH access to the remote host to be backed up is already configured, as root:
su -s /bin/bash backuppc
ssh-copy-id -i ~backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@your.host.name
exit
You can test the key exchange:
su -s /bin/bash backuppc #become backuppc user
ssh -l root your.host.name # add "-p 2222" for port 2222
exit #from the remote_host
exit #from the backuppc user back to root
You should be able to log in without a password.
Note: There are times when the backuppc user needs a real shell specified in /etc/passwd, for example, when the backuppc user is used to run sudo commands or pre/post scripts.<br />
Now you can go to the admin backuppc panel to set your host
