Hi, I've a problem with the initial backup of a vista client, called "myclient". This client ist connected over internet with an 1Mbit/s upload bandwidth and have 100GB of storage to backup. Unfortunately the internet connection will be interupted each night for 5 minutes.
2009-03-31 23:59:19 Backup failed on myclient (lost network connection during backup) 2009-04-01 00:00:00 Next wakeup is 2009-04-01 00:15:00 Now, 20:41, I found 5200 files with 5GB in /var/lib/backuppc/myclient/new and 27158 files with 522MB in /var/lib/backuppc/myclient/1, the last partial backup. If the connection interrupts at 23:55 short time later the /new is empty and the /0 contains the same count of files and MBs as before. Whats happening theire? How to continue an interrupted backup? My rsync parameters are: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system -vvv Should I use --ignore-times too? I did not really understand the logic of rsync ;-) In the clients logfile I found out that the file "file1" will be saved after 16 hours in the first run and after 12h, 8h, 6h again in the following runs. 2009-03-30 07:45:19 full backup started for directory C : 16h 2009/03/30 23:54:01 [2564] send_files(1748, file1.JPG) 2009/03/30 23:54:01 [2564] send_files mapped file1.JPG of size 2163764 2009/03/30 23:54:01 [2564] calling match_sums file1.JPG 2009/03/30 23:54:43 [2564] sending file_sum and the next time it was send after 2009-03-31 00:05:17 full backup started for directory C : 12h 2009/03/31 12:39:04 [804] send_files(1748, file1.JPG) 2009/03/31 12:39:04 [804] send_files mapped file1.JPG of size 2163764 2009/03/31 12:39:04 [804] calling match_sums file1.JPG 2009/03/31 12:40:09 [804] sender finished file1.JPG and one interruption later 2009-03-31 14:02:08 full backup started for directory C : 8h 2009/03/31 22:32:35 [4952] send_files(1748, file1.JPG) 2009/03/31 22:32:35 [4952] send_files mapped file1.JPG of size 2163764 2009/03/31 22:32:35 [4952] calling match_sums file1.JPG 2009/03/31 22:32:53 [4952] sender finished file1.JPG 2009-04-01 00:02:12 full backup started for directory C : 6h 2009/04/01 06:19:51 [4068] send_files(1748, file1) 2009/04/01 06:19:51 [4068] send_files mapped file1 of size 2163764 2009/04/01 06:19:51 [4068] calling match_sums file1.JPG 2009/04/01 06:20:10 [4068] sender finished file1.JPG Thanks for any hint Matthias -- Don't Panic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
