When I see this issue, here's what I do:

 * Delay the next backup for 24h
 * Make sure backuppc_nightly isn't going to run in the near future
 * run, as backuppc, "BackupPC_dump -f -v hostname"
 * figure out what the errors you get back mean, and how to solve them
 * run, as backuppc, "BackupPC_link hostname"
 * remove the delay on the next backup, if you want to

Makes trouble shooting much much easier.

Hi all,
it's about 10 days I no longer back up a particular host (about 300 GB).

The error I got is:

2013-06-03 22:32:39 Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely)
2013-06-03 22:32:44 Backup aborted (Child exited prematurely)

How can I solve this issue?
That just means the program running on remote side of the transfer
died.  You will have to figure out what went wrong on the client side
or with the connection.  Could it have been rebooted, or run out of
memory?
