The full process is taking about an hour and a half and I set a timeout of 20 hours. The 'sparse' problem could occur while doing a full backup ? Because apparently, only the incremental one is hanging. My target is a linux.
If it can help, here is the logs from the rsyncd of my target: 2013/09/04 08:00:23 [32503] connect from backupserver (IP addr) 2013/09/04 08:00:23 [32503] rsync on . from backupserver (IP addr) 2013/09/04 08:00:23 [32503] building file list 2013/09/04 08:42:08 [32503] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Connection timed out (110) 2013/09/04 08:42:08 [32503] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1532) [sender=3.0.9] and as I said before, the process on backuppc is still alive.
