Hi folks,

I'm testing BackupPC with a couple of machines and full backups don't complete. The test machines are a Redhad 7.2 machine and an OS 10.3.9 machine. Both are using tar (or xtar) and ssh. The errors in the Xfer log are basically the same:

Redhat 7.2

Got fatal error during xfer (./Users/tony/tonybackup.tgz)
Backup aborted (./Users/tony/tonybackup.tgz)

The Mac's .pl file is:

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarClientPath} = '/usr/bin/xtar';
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host $tarPath -c -v -f - -C /';
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = '/Users';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['.Trash', '/Trash', '/automount', '/Network', '/pri vate/var/automount', '/private/var/run', '/private/var/vm', '/private/var/tmp',
'/private/tmp', 'Caches', 'CachedMessages'];

and the LOG entry:

2005-07-19 15:00:02 full backup started for directory /
2005-07-19 15:32:54 Got fatal error during xfer (./Users/tony/tonybackup.tgz)
2005-07-19 15:32:59 Backup aborted (./Users/tony/tonybackup.tgz)
2005-07-19 15:32:59 Saved partial dump 0

The linux box has a similar .pl with platform appropriate changes and no BackupFilesOnly.

The BackupPC server is FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE on a P-III 700 with 512Mb of RAM.

Ideas?

Thanks!
