Hi, I've been a happy backuppc user for a couple of years but finally have run across something that I just cannot sort out.
I have a Suse Linux server backing up PCs on a LAN. To be precise, one Solaris machine using rsync and two WINDOZE clients using smb plus the server itself using tar. I just upgraded the AMD server processor to 2100MHz from 1300. I also upgraded to Suse 9.3. I have consistently had the latest Samba, but this does not seem to have affected the problem. Earlier in the year, when setting up a system for someone else, I ran into this identical problem with a fast AMD 64 bit processor and only solved it by specifying a small number of directories to backup. The problem is that the Windoze backups have stopped working with a cryptic message- too many tarmode errors. I upgraded to the latest backuppc but no improvement. The problem seems to be in the interaction between smbclient and Windoze. Incidentally, increasing the debug level for smbclient to "-d 3" and "-d 4" in the backuppc config.pl does not give any extra data within backuppc (anyone know why?), so I have run smbclient manually with the following result, which shows the problem. This problem happens on both Windoze clients and seems to be some sort of race or infinite loop situation. Here's the debug info. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. Basically, the problem did not happen with a 1300MHz AMD on the server, but using either the 2100MHz or fast 64bit AMD system does this. When I investigated the same problem on the 64bit machine, I remmeber it had something to do with the dreaded Windoze read-only permissions or similar plus the server speed.
