Hi Chris, I suspect youre problem is the out of memory error - so I'd start there - are there many or large files on this server that makes it harder to backup (in terms of memory needs) than others ? It sounds like your BackupPC machine may need more RAM in it to me.
Also, I had a lot of these child exiting errors when our storage device was failing, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

We increased the swap space on unix solaris box and the backup was performed with following error: 2010-03-31 05:22:37 ccdev10: Out of memory during "large" request for 16781312 bytes, total sbrk() is 468277248 bytes at /usr/local/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/FileZIO.pm line 215. 2010-03-31 05:22:44 Backup failed on ccdev10 (Child exited prematurely) 2010-03-31 05:22:44 Running BackupPC_link ccdev10 (pid=43911) 2010-03-31 05:22:46 Finished ccdev10 (BackupPC_link ccdev10) I am not sure how to address this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
