rsync - daemon not running (Solution)

[gm4jjj]

As I did not seem to be able to create a backup in the /public folder, I thought I would try rsync instead.

I am not sure if the rsync daemon is running because when I try I get:

./rsync -uav --info=progress2 rsync://root@meteohub/data /Users/david/Desktop/Meteohubdata
rsync: getaddrinfo: meteohub 873: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(128) [Receiver=3.1.1]

Thanks in advance for any advice.


Edit: Got it working -

1. I started the daemon on meteohub via ssh

Rsync --daemon

2.

My error:

I needed to specify the IP address of "meteohub"

./rsync -uav --info=progress2 rsync://root@192.168.x.x/data /Users/david/Desktop/Meteohubdata

In order to get the rsync daemon to start at bootup I had to edit /etc/default/rsync and change the line
RSYNC_ENABLE=false

to

RSYNC_ENABLE=true

thanks, will change that with next update.
