New question #138516 on Simple Backup:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+question/138516

I have two PCs, each running Ubuntu 10.04 and sbackup, one is mine, the other, my wife's.

I wish to use sbackup so that each backs up to the other, using ssh, so I have some protection against disk crashes.

What I find is that it works one way but never the other.

Each of us has home directories on the other's computer, that is
/home/steve
and
/home/martha

and under each is a backup subdirectory with owner-write permissions.

Steve's computer is 192.168.1.41 and Martha's is 192.168.1.40.

On Steve's PC, the sbackup setup is this:

ssh://steve:stevespassword@192.168.1.40/home/steve/backup

and on Martha's it is :

ssh://martha:marthaspassword@192.168.1.41/home/martha/backup

It works flawlessly from Steve's PC to Martha's, but never from Martha's to Steve's.

Sbackup-config always tells me that it lacks permissions, yet there is no reason that should be the case.

Furthermore raw ssh and sftp work fine from Martha's machine to Steve's.

I see nothing in Steve's logs when these connection attempts fail.

What could account for these symptoms?
