Hi all.  Nobody has responded to my other messages requesting help, so I'm trying again.  I'm using the 2.1.2 version.

I have one Windows machine that is backing up flawlessly (other than NT_SHARING_VIOLATIONs that are unavoidable).  I have another that is failing when it gets to a very large file.  Because it failed before, I increased the ClientTimeout to 720000 (10x higher than default).  I deleted everything about the host that was failing and started again. 

Contents of file /var/backuproot/pc/mothership/LOG, modified 2006-11-06 18:52:34

2006-11-05 02:46:59 full backup started for share CDrive
2006-11-06 18:52:28 Got fatal error during xfer (Unexpected end of tar archive)
2006-11-06 18:52:33 Backup aborted (Unexpected end of tar archive)
2006-11-06 18:52:34 Saved partial dump 0

This took 40 hours to run, and backed up a lot, but when it got to a 12gb file, it choked.

Here's the XferLog Errors:

This looks like there's a 32 bit quantity that is rolling over and crashing the BackupPC server process.

I thought maybe excluding that particular file would help, but exclusions aren't
working well for me.  I tried to exclude like this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = 
  ['Documents and Settings/Administrator/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/*'];
And it backed up all 20,000 files in that directory anyway.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JH
