Topic: affa vs backup pc vs dungog rsync backup

[Bud]

people thank you for your explanation and patience, really appreciated

ok so i can ssh without entering a password
very simple when you know what to do 

so when i enter: ssh -p 22 root@192.0.0.99 it does login to server 192.0.0.99 without any issues

my “ .unison/oneway_sync.prf “ file

-------------------------------------------

# Include Unison preferences file
include common

# Log file for this profile
logfile = /var/log/unison/vps.log

# We are going to pull all DB backups in the remote dir: /root/backup/db to our local dir: /root/backup/VPS
# (I do this from a number of server back to a central server)

# Root dir THIS end
root = //root/backup/VPS

# Root dir Far end
root = ssh://192.0.0.99:22//home/e-smith/files/shares/data/files/test

# Which end do we want to be in control?
# See the differences between force and prefer here
force = ssh://192.0.0.99:22//home/e-smith/files/shares/data/files/test

-------------------------------------------

when i run the the following command on server 192.0.0.100 where unison is installed to backup files from server 192.0.0.99 to server 192.0.0.100
# unison oneway_sync.prf

Contacting server...
bash: unison: command not found
Fatal error: Lost connection with the server

what now? 
really need to get unison to start working

Contacting server...
bash: unison: command not found

what now? 

If you searched the interwebs for say "command not found" you'd see the issue....

Bash can't find unison.

Should be in /usr/bin

Try

Code: [Select]

which unison
Or

Code: [Select]

locate unison
Or

Code: [Select]

cd /
find -iname unison

really need to get unison to start working

And I really need to finish my holiday....

ReetP sorry buddy, did not mean to worry you on your holiday.
But thank you for helping

any ideas?

# which unison

So the binary is there locally. I can't remember as its so long since I set it up but you may need a copy at the far end.

You really could do yourself a favour by burying your head in the docs.

This bit may help, especially the part that says 'command not found'......

http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/download/releases/stable/unison-manual.html#remote

Please, do a test with a single file/dir first as well....
