Dear list, For a while now I've been testing out backuppc pc, and running it for real at home with SMB shares.
But now I'm implementing it for work I need to test, test, test, test, etc. So I've set it up using the rsyncd package from Backuppc.sourceforge. And accessing it through a openvpn. Which incidentally does compression and encryption on it's own, so no need for ssh ;-) All is working quite wonderfully with 3.1.0. Backups are being made, full and incremental's. When a client shutsdown via the Startmenu (windows still), the backup gets canceled and a partial is saved. /But/ when the client simply dissapears from radar (cable is janked out, or laptop is placed in suspend mode) the rsync transfer "stalls" in lack of a better word for it. The backuppc's webpage for the client simply states "Backup in progress" forever and never time's out. Even with the --timeout=120 option added to "RsyncArgs". Plus, when the client reappears, the backup does not continue... :-( It has to get cancelled by me, before the next backup can be initiated. Has anyone had the same things happening?
