I'm having trouble with rsync restore. I can restore a small number of 
files with no problem, but if I try to do a full restore (for example, 
replacing a hard drive and then trying to restore to a base linux 
install) it always fails with:

exiting after signal ALRM
restore failed: aborted by signal=ALRM

If I watch RestoreLOG while it is attempting to restore, I see lots of 
stuff being restored for a few minutes, then it stops and hangs for 
several hours before exiting with an error. Here's the command line that 
is running on the client:

root      7964  3.0  1.0   8884  5356 ?        Ss   10:20   0:11 
/usr/bin/rsync --server --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --

Here's what is running on the server:

backuppc 18998  0.4  0.6  5908 3412 ?        S    14:17   0:02 
/usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l backuppc restoreme sudo /usr/bin/rsync --server 
--numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times 
--block-size=2048 --relative --ignore-times --recursive . /

It seems odd that the rsync command on the client looks different from 
what the server is sending it, but I'm not sure whether that's causing 
the restore to fail. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
