Hello, we have been using Backuppc 3 for some years to create daily backups of about a hundred VMs. Our old server hit it's storage capacity limit a few month ago so we decided to set up a new server with a zfs filesystem and a recent version of Backuppc, 4. All of our hosts are backed up regularly but two systems, "304" and "801" abort the backup process with the following error ""rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at io.c(1556) [generator=3.0.9.12]"." I have reenabled the backup of 801 on the old Backuppc and both full backups and incremental backups work just fine. Now, to the description of the systems:
backuppc-old: Debian 7 Wheezy Linux dzb-backup1 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 x86_64 GNU/Linux backuppc 3.2.1-4 storage on an encrypted ext4 backuppc-new: Debian 9 Stretch Linux dzb-backup2 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.130-2 (2018-10-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux backuppc 4.1.5 storage on an encrypted zfs filesystem zpool list NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALT ROOT backup 6,50T 2,78T 3,72T - 22% 42% 1.00x ONLINE - zpool status -v backup pool: backup state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0 in 40h39m with 0 errors on Mon Feb 11 17:03:22 2019 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM backup ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz2-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 sda1_crypt ONLINE 0 0 0 sdb1_crypt ONLINE 0 0 0 sdc1_crypt ONLINE 0 0 0 sdd1_crypt ONLINE 0 0 0 sde1_crypt ONLINE 0 0 0 sdf1_crypt ONLINE 0 0 0 Now to the hosts which are to be backed up. They are both virtualized with Xen and they do not run on the same Xen host. 304: development system, very little activity 2GB Memory, Debian 8 rsync 3.1.3-5 (I installed a Deb-Package of the latest version on the advice of our hosting provider. Before that rsync 3.1.1-3+deb8u1 was installed. The upgrade did not change the errors) 801: big Piwik/Matomo installation. High cpu load and io activity 50GB Memory, Debian 8 rsync 3.1.3-5 ------------------------------------------------------------- How can I fix this? I have tried to give as much information as possible. Please tell me if you need any additional information from the logs to diagnose the problem.
