The ReadyNAS has CIFS,NFS, and Rsync capability. For the moment I am just
mounting the ReadyNAS NFS share onto the Backuppc server. The Backuppc
server is using rsyncd to connect to the file server, which is a windows xp
machine.
Backuppc server has the following specs:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ 2.1GHz
775424 KB RAM
The file server uses cygwin/rsync and has the following specs.
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+ 2.4 GHz
3GB RAM
The ReadyNAS has 256MB RAM.
`find /path/to/data | wc -l` shows this number:
149073
does it look like i have enough RAM???
(On a side note, even though i got the backup aborted errors, the job seems
to have started up again automatically -- check the logs i posted earlier. I
decided to manually stop the job until i researched this problem further. I
noticed after stopping the job, browsing the backup files showed a lot of my
files are all there. If you look at the log carefully it shows that only the
A-F/ folder caused the backup job to abort. The job then started again on
the next day at 8pm, which is what $Conf{WakeupSchedule} is set to and the
A-F folder seems to have finished successfully because the next entry in the
log shows the G-N/ folder and then the O-Z/ folder. So no errors for A-F
folder the second time around.)
should i let the backups continue and see what happens???
