I'm trying to backup several Windows hosts via rsyncd. The hosts have multiple drives available via rsyncd (sDrive, tDrive, uDrive, vDrive), and each of them contains several gigabytes of data (20-60 GB).
The link between BackupPC and Windows servers is not very fast for that amount of data (1 Mbit), but eventually, the backup should be finished. Unfortunately, it never did, although it runs for two weeks now. Here is what happens: 1) archive for the host is empty, BackupPC starts the backup 2) for some reason, after a day or so, the backup breaks, I assume it can be because the internet link between the hosts was down 3) we now have a "partial", number "0", containing "sDrive" and a part of "tDrive" 4) BackupPC starts a next backup, again, after a day or so, it breaks - still, we have a "partial" backup, number "0", containing "sDrive", "tDrive" and a part of "uDrive" 5) after a couple of days, I notice that there is still only "partial" backup number "0", but it contains only "sDrive" data - "tDrive" a "uDrive" are gone from the backup - why? The log file looks like that - it shows that there was indeed backup made for sDrive, tDrive, uDrive - why were they wiped out then, and started from scratch? 2006-11-08 12:16:08 full backup started for directory sDrive 2006-11-09 01:10:49 full backup started for directory tDrive 2006-11-09 18:16:26 Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely) 2006-11-09 18:16:34 Backup aborted (lost network connection during backup) 2006-11-09 18:16:34 Saved partial dump 0 2006-11-09 20:00:08 full backup started for directory sDrive 2006-11-10 00:04:54 full backup started for directory tDrive 2006-11-11 02:21:48 full backup started for directory uDrive 2006-11-11 22:00:21 Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely) 2006-11-11 22:00:27 Backup aborted (Child exited prematurely) 2006-11-11 22:00:39 Saved partial dump 0 2006-11-11 23:13:15 full backup started for directory sDrive 2006-11-12 00:21:49 Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely) 2006-11-12 00:21:55 Backup aborted (Child exited prematurely) 2006-11-12 00:21:55 Saved partial dump 0 2006-11-12 01:00:09 full backup started for directory sDrive 2006-11-12 10:40:13 Aborting backup up after signal INT 2006-11-12 10:40:14 Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by user (signal=INT)) 2006-11-12 10:40:14 Saved partial dump 0 2006-11-12 10:41:25 full backup started for directory sDrive 2006-11-12 16:36:33 Aborting backup up after signal INT 2006-11-12 16:36:34 Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by user (signal=INT)) 2006-11-12 16:36:35 Saved partial dump 0 2006-11-12 16:41:55 full backup started for directory sDrive I'm running BackupPC 3.0.0beta1. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
