-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I recently had some issues with backups failing during the backup in some strange way, which caused all files after that point to be marked as "deleted". This caused the following backup to need to re-transfer all of those files again the next time. (using rsyncd over ssh tunnel as the backup method).
Please see the latest log file displaying the error: - From the beginning of the backup: Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/office/XferLOG.bad.z, modified 2009-09-03 07:56:00 Executing DumpPreUserCmd: /etc/backuppc/scripts/office-start.sh incr backup started back to 2009-09-01 00:00:13 (backup #34) for directory cdrive Connected to 127.0.0.1:1518, remote version 30 Negotiated protocol version 28 Connected to module cdrive Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D - --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --checksum-seed=32761 -D - --one-file-system --bwlimit=31 . .

However, in the past, if this had been a full backup, it was being saved as a partial, and hence causing the re-transfer of all the data that had been marked as deleted. Just thought I should provide an update on how things were going, as it isn't possible to cause the failure on demand and I didn't want the 'fix/patch' to be forgotten/missed.
