Remote Backup Problem

[aminhashemiwin10]

hi, i have installed this script and its working great for creating backup locally. i want to use remote backup feature, but i have faced with a problem that i cannot find out why it is happening.

let me explain my sitation here: i have 2 physical server with full port access to each other. i have set their hostsnames in /etc/hosts and added root ssh_key of them both to each other.

i use this command on the destination server that i want to create my backup there and the source server is the server that i have my vm in there. i get this error :

this is the remote backup command :

virtnbdbackup -U qemu+ssh://root@hv9.partdp.ir/system --ssh-user root -d 20240416-161527643789309-11_cando-neobank-1-test-base.part.psg.network -o  /opt/kvm_pool/backup/

and i get this error :

root@hv4:~# virtnbdbackup -U qemu+ssh://root@hv9/system --ssh-user root -d 20240416-161527643789309-11_cando-neobank-1-test-base.part.psg.network -o  /opt/kvm_pool/backup/

note : virtnbd backup is enabled in vm xml and i can easily create local full and increamental backups. i cannot only create remote backup.

Hi, please add log with verbose option, it seems either an wrong ip address Or Port is used to Start the NBd Service, could be a problem with local dns resolution on the Remote Host.

you can also try —nbd-ip Option to specify the ip the nbd Server is bound to on the remote system

hv9.partdp.ir Needs to be resolved correctly on the Remote system

thanks a lot, i used ip instead of hostname and it works now, but i test hostnames and i could ssh to my server with the hostnames. i couldnt find out the problem, but with using nbd-ip my probles solved. thanks a lot.

keepup the good work <3
