[BackupPC-users] rsyncd backup fails with Can't write to socket

2013-01-14 Thread Russell Poyner

 From the XferLog file:

Can't write 13944 bytes to socket
Read EOF: Operation timed out
Tried again: got 0 bytes
finish: removing in-process file filename removed
Child is aborting
Done: 502 files, 43008274 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by signal=PIPE)

The server is a freeBSD 9.1 system, and the client is a windows 7 
machine running the DeltaCopy rsync service.

The file in question *may* have been an open file, since the owner was 
logged in at the time.

Anyone know how to get one of these backups to actually complete?

Thanks
RP

I'd normally expect rsync to skip over open files with a warning; you may
be running into a DeltaCopy bug, or it may react badly to certain
semantics for open files.

The proper way to copy open files is using Shadow Copies, but rsync
presents an interesting conundrum, because the shadow copy has to be
available before rsync is started, so running an rsync service probably
won't work (unless you go to the trouble or writing your own
rsync-compatible, non-Cygwin, VSS-capable service, I guess.  DeltaCopy is
not such a thing.)

At any rate, there are at least two VSS/rsync based solutions, but I'm not
aware of an rsync service working with open files at all.
