Hi list! I recently set up a backuppc server running on debian etch 64 bits, installation and configuration were clean and easy.
I did some test backups (full and incremental) with small folders and everything was fine. But when I tried to backup up the /, (approximately 10 gigas) it doesn't work. BackupPc takes a lot of time in the "backup in progress" state, and after some hours it creates a partial backup, although its duration is only 6 minutes Please have a look of the logs: ................................ 192.168.0.119/LOG 2006-12-19 10:25:01 full backup started for directory / 2006-12-19 10:31:04 Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely) 2006-12-19 10:31:09 Backup aborted (Child exited prematurely) 2006-12-19 10:31:09 Saved partial dump 0 ................................. 192.168.0.119/XferLOG.0.z Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root 192.168.0.119 /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --devices --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --specials -D --ignore-times . / Xfer PIDs are now 14794 Got remote protocol 29 Negotiated protocol version 26 Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/proc/2/exe" Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/proc/2/task/2/exe" Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/proc/3/exe" Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/proc/3/task/3/exe" Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/proc/4/exe" Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/proc/4/task/4/exe" Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/proc/5/exe" SO ON... pool 644 0/0 811578 lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/volatile/fcdslusba.ko pool 644 0/0 616476 lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/volatile/fcpci.ko pool 644 0/0 609575 lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/volatile/fcusb.ko pool 644 0/0 500101 lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko pool 644 0/0 656303 lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/volatile/fxusb.ko Parent read EOF from child: fatal error!

I defined $Conf{PartialAgeMax} = 0; To force making a full backup instead updating a partial one, I'm using rsync with openssh and have no problems using ssh with no password to the client (as root, of course), the compression type is bzip2. Any ideas?
