Lately, one machine has started to hang on backup. It was a Linux machine, now it is a Windows 2003 Server machine that hangs. The state of the machine stays at "backup in progress" but there is no network traffic and the CPU usage is at 100 percent, with two BackupPC_dump processes, one using slightly more CPU than the other but with a total of 100 percent. I have changed the RsyncArgs and RsyncRestoreArgs options for "--devices" to "-D".
Backuppc Version: 2.1.2-6 Backuppc host OS: Debian 4.0 (Etch) kernel: 2.6.12.6-xen All packages up to date. Today I increased XferLogLevel to 6 and ran the dump manually and got the following error message in a repeating loop: create 0 / 0 attribSet(dir=fswsoft, file=) attribSet(dir=fswsoft, file=) makeSpecial(/var/lib/backuppc/pc/fp2003/new//fswsoft/, 9, ) Can't open /var/lib/backuppc/pc/fp2003/new//fswsoft/ for empty output\n Oddly, the directory /var/lib/backuppc/pc/fp2003/new did not exist but I was able to create it. I do have free inodes and I forced fsck.ext3 on the filesystems and they were clean. Any suggestions appreciated.
