I've been running 3.1.0 since it was created and I finished setting
things up a while ago and it ran for months rock solid, but then one day
some machines stopped working.
One Gentoo vserver is running 4 of the machines. Gentoo host OS, Ubuntu,
Debian and a Gentoo. BackupPC manages to backup the Ubuntu, but not the
host OS or the two other vservers.
It also fails on a remote internet server running Gentoo, but not the
other server that runs Ubuntu.
The Debian vserver log file looks like this and that seems to be the
same error for all of the failing machines:
full backup started for directory /; updating partial #117
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root liferaft vserver debian exec

This one died quick, but it's completely random at what point it fails
on the machines. As protocol 30 shows, I've upgraded rsync to 3.0.0 to
see if I had a bad rsync 2.6.x (All the dist has upgraded to the same
one) that for some reaosn only Ubuntu had fixed, but it still fails.
It sometimes aborts on a singal PIPE on some of the machines and some
logs has a can't write to socket error.
The total randomness of what works and whats broken has me completely
puzzled.
