I'm trying to backup a large amount of hosts using rsync method.

This takes a lot of time.

I noticed, that connection to one of the hosts was broken a couple of hours ago.

BackupPC claims that "backup in progress" (for that host).

Perhaps it has something to do with:

$Conf{ClientTimeout} = 72000;


Is it really the best method to detect if we still have a connection by looking at client output?

This method has at least two points of failure: very large files over a slow connection, and broken connections.

As I understand, it's a problem with perl rsync module used by BackupPC, right?
