Most likely your /etc/slbackup/slbackup.conf configuration file lay-out is
the reason why.

The package comes with an example configuration file. Take a look at
/usr/share/doc/slbackup/examples/slbackup-server+ltsp.conf
and compare it to your own /etc/slbackup/slbackup.conf configuration file.

The slbackup system is an ordinary client server system.
The main server tjener runs the back up service and thus acts as the
slbackup server.
Machines that have some files and directories backed up are clients. Since
also files and directories of tjener are backed up by the slbackup service,
tjener is in this respect the backup client. If you have other machines in
your network that are backed up, they also are clients.
