I’ve fixed myself another VPS and now I want to update my rsync backup config to use the new server. Only… it appears the rsync config does not like me changing the hostname…
All the other settings seem to be in place for it to just work. Only I think rsync needs some sort of clear current cache & config for everything to connect again?
I’m getting this unhelpful error message
“Connection to rsync host failed: Unknown error.Please check running 'management/backup.py --verify’from mailinabox sources to debug the issue.”
The backup verifies… But I believe it’s verifying an old config… How do I clear the old config?
I can do a duplicity --dry-run to the remote host. But for whatever reason there’s something blocking my new setup.
I’ve removed the current backup caches etc. no luck there as well. The only thing I can do is use the backups on the miab box itself. But as soon as I switch to rsync, there’s a config somewhere that prevents making changes…
What is the output of the duplicity command?
Try to login to the remote machine using ssh, with the key that MiaB uses and the user that the backup runs from (I think root) I’ve had trouble with that in the past when I changed servers.
