Strange behaviour ....
I'm backing up 4 RedHat clients (rsync over ssh) - 3 remote and 1
local. All fine for a year and then this week the local client backups
start failing.
Here's an extract from the backuppc log ...

As you can see it runs for quite a while but then bangs out.
At a loss to explain this.
Backup server info:
SME Server 6.01 (RedHat 7.3)
smeserver-backuppc-2.1.0-1
failing backup: rsync over ssh
RAID1 160GB
512MB RAM
Other info:
* Pool is 55.27GB comprising 308155 files and 4369 directories (as
of 11/29 19:24),
* Pool hashing gives 63 repeated files with longest chain 8,
* Nightly cleanup removed 1117 files of size 0.01GB (around 11/29
19:24),
* Pool file system was recently at 42% (11/29 23:32), today's max is
42% (11/29 22:00) and yesterday's max was 42%.
Client info:
SME Server 6.01 (RedHat 7.3)
RAID1 60GB
512MB RAM
Pointers on where to look ? Obviously "ssh remoteclient ls" as user
backuppc works fine.
