I am seeing a very strange problem after transitioning to backuppc 3.0. Backups are taking considerably longer, and i am frequently getting out of memory kernel panics messages dumped to the syslog.

My previous config was a P3-450 w/ 256MB ram, 10GB Internal drive, and a 700GB external RAID-5 array. This machine ran debian 3.0 and Backuppc 2.x ( i frequently updated it).

The new machine is a P3-800 w/ 256MB ram, 10GB Internal drive, and a 2.0TB external RAID-6 array. This machine is a fresh install of debian 4.x and runs Backuppc 3.0

Both machines had aproximately 800MB of swap, and were configured to do backups via RSYNC/RSYNCD or SMB.

I know that the first machine was slow, it took a whole day to do a 100GB backup over a 100Mbit link. But the second machine is taking many days to complete the same job. I started a full backup on the 3rd of october and it is still running today.

I have already run extensive diagnostics on all the hardware, so i know that the machine is fine.

Before i start racking my brain, i wanted to find out if anyone else had experienced this type of problem after moving to backuppc 3? Has anyone seen memory leaks with backuppc running on debian 4?


Thanks
