Overview
This page provides a reference for how to setup SSH key-based authentication for BackupPC rsync file transfer backups with NST. Additional information can be found here: BackupPC SSH Setup.
NST BackupPC Client Setup Example For SSH Key-based Authentication
The steps shown below for SSH key-based authentication assumes that the BackupPC user is set to: "backuppc" and the file transfer backup method is: "rsync". The configuration entries from the main BackupPC configuration file: "/etc/BackupPC/config.pl" are shown for these settings.
.
.
.
#
# The BackupPC user.
#
$Conf{BackupPCUser} = 'backuppc';
.
.
.
#
# What transport method to use to backup each host. If you have
# a mixed set of WinXX and linux/unix hosts you will need to override
# this in the per-PC config.pl.
#
$Conf{XferMethod} = "rsync";

Step 1: Log In To The backuppc User Account
Since the backuppc user has no login capability, we will need to run the following for access to the backuppc user home directory: "/var/lib/BackupPC" as the backuppc user.
[root@nst-vm ~]# su - backuppc -s /bin/bash;
[backuppc@nst-vm ~]$ pwd
/var/lib/BackupPC
[backuppc@nst-vm ~]$
ssh-keygen -t rsa
ssh root@10.222.222.107
ssh root@10.222.222.107 install -m 700 -d .ssh
cat id_rsa.pub | ssh root@10.222.222.107 tee -a .ssh/authorized_keys
