This sounds like possibly a bad hard-drive. -----Original Message----- From: Pelletier, Robert Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2016 10:41 AM To: General list for user discussion, questions and support Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc keeps hanging on restore This seems to be working nicely, although not at all ideal. May I ask how this will help me troubleshoot my issue? Given how well this method is performing, It does seem like it is an rsync issue, but I have tried a few versions of rsync and all are giving me the issue. Argh. This method is working great to restore my backup, so thank you very much, it is greatly appreciated. I did have to change a couple of commands to make this work, for those folks whom stumble upon this. First of all, I had to install netcat Yum install nc Then on the target box (notice I removed the -p, which was not necessary, I am guessing this is dependent on your distro and/or netcat version): nc -p 8888|tar xzvp -C /path/to/target/dir Lastly on the backuppc box: su backuppc (in case you forget this must be run as the backuppc user) /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h <hostname> -n -1 -s / /|gzip| nc <ip/hostname of target box> 8888 I highly recommend reading the help file, although brief, should be enough to assist with the format of the above command.

There is > plenty of space on the disk. My advice would be to try doing a restore using tar and netcat, but only because that's what I do and it works reliably for me. This would at least allow you to narrow it down to a problem with rsync, or BackupPC itself. 1. set a netcat process listening and piping to tar; something like: nc -l -p 8888|tar xzvp -C /path/to/target/dir 2. on the backuppc server, use BackupPC_tarCreate to build a tarball of the backup you want, pipe that through gzip, then pipe it to netcat in order to send it across the wire /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h <hostname> -n -1 -s / /|gzip| nc 192.168.123.123 8888 Run /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate without any arguments to get a (entirely too brief) help message. If it's a Windows box you're restoring to, the above will still work, you'll just need the cygwin tools installed. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
