As Bowie mentioned it could that BackupPC is chocking on some large file.
I tried to find where the backup is stopping by checking the errors Xferr
log, but the file was too big to view in a web browser, since it contained a
list of everything that was backed up, up to the point that the backups
failed.
So I guess, I'll first try to split the backup and see if backups will work
without any errors. If that does not work, I guess I can always try to do
the backup via tar. :)
Thanks for the help guys! I'm gonna try this out, and I'll reply later on
how it went.
