I guess what I don't understand is why it works when I manually run rsync over ssh. The only difference that I can see is that when I run it manually I don't use the --server --sender flags but instead use rsync root@target. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
[BackupPC-users] Backuppc hangs on backing up WinXP c-drive
I am using the rsync-method to back up the C-drive on a WinXP machine. I have cygwin ssh rsync installed on the remote machine. The backup repeatedly stalls after backing up: .file_store_32/runescape/main_file_cache.dat1 and in the middle (presumably) of backing up: .file_store_32/runescape/main_file_cache.dat2 This occurs only about a dozen files into the backup. The verbose output is as follows: full backup started for directory /c/ started full dump, share=/c/ Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l kosowsky mywinxppc /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --checksum-seed=32761 --one-file-system --omit-dir-times --ignore-times . /c/ Xfer PIDs are now 24412 xferPids 24412 Got remote protocol 29pp Negotiated protocol version 28 Checksum caching enabled (checksumSeed = 32761) Sent exclude: /Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temp/* Sent exclude: /Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/* Sent exclude: /System Volume Information Sent exclude: /pagefile.sys Sent exclude: /hiberfil.sys Sent exclude: /RECYCLER Remote[2]: file has vanished: /c/Documents and Settings/User1/My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/ 7 - ??? ?? ???

Again it is frustrating that Backuppc seems to be so fragile in that it just seemingly hangs when it gets stuck on a file failing to either give any error messages (unless you manually run BackupPC_dump) or to explain what is wrong or to just skip the offending files and move on.
