Have you tried running BackupPC_dump by hand? $ su - # su - backuppc $ /usr/share/lib/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -f -v host.to.backup See if there's any consistency on where it stops, or if it gives you any meaningful error. Have you checked for filesystem corruption on your backuppc server? In cases like this in the past, where it happened with individual hosts; I would just try excluding parts of the filesystem on the host to be backed up, until the backup succeeded. However, if all hosts are having the same problem it would seem to be an issue with the backup server itself. Are all your clients being backed up with SMB? Try setting some up to use Cygwin rsyncd, and see if that succeeds. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
