I noticed some issues with rsync+ssh restores fired off from the Web UI. I was trying to restore a backup of machine x to machine y. The problem seemed most reliably reproducible when transferring more than 10 MB of data, and/or when the destination files already existed.
I found a couple of other posts that seemed related: http://www.adsm.org/lists/html/BackupPC-users/2008-11/msg00056.html http://www.adsm.org/lists/html/BackupPC-users/2010-04/msg00231.html When I changed XferMethod to "tar", restoring worked. I'm using backuppc 3.1.0-9ubuntu1 as packaged with Ubuntu 10.04, running on a 32-bit Amazon EC2 server. The backup source and destination machines are Ubuntu 10.04, running on Amazon 64-bit EC2 servers. Has anyone looked further into this issue? Even if not, hopefully this post will be useful as a workaround for folks running into the same issue.
