The Dell tech told me this usually indicates a problem on the PCI bus, most often the add-in network card, but we ruled that out.
backuppc-2.1.2-2ubuntu5 perl-5.8.7-10ubuntu rsync-2.6.6-1ubuntu2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# uname -a Linux imageserver 2.6.15-27-amd64-server #1 SMP Fri Dec 8 18:02:49 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux LOG (entire contents): 2006-12-14 23:00:00 full backup started for directory DriveC From XferLOG it looks like I should add an exclude for $NtServicePack$, but that's just noise, there is an occassional error like below, but no other errors: create 644 18/544 247693 WINDOWS/$NtServicePackUninstall$/msoe.chm Can't link /var/lib/backuppc/pc/sandraxp2k3/new/fDriveC/fWINDOWS/f$NtServicePackUninstall$/fmsoe.dll to /var/lib/backuppc/pool/9/5/4/954484d7dde3b57fa9e7a971a7200bdf pool 755 18/544 1176064 WINDOWS/$NtServicePackUninstall$/msoe.dll I have also previously tried just a Linux host, and that also locked up the system.
