Sorry about the delay in replying. First off, it appears that ps on
the client is only displaying the first part of the command, so I
doubt there is an issue that the client command is different.
Things to look at include:
- is there any error prior to the ALRM error at the end of the RestoreLOG
file?
- is there any error from rsync in the client's syslog?
- could you be running out of memory on the client? A larger restore
causes rsync to use more memory on the client.
- perhaps it has not actually hung: try increasing $Conf{ClientTimeout}.
- could there any network issue between the server and client?
