Do you have NAT gateways or stateful firewalls in the network path? These can time out connections if they are idle for a certain amount of time, and backuppc can spend a long time comparing unchanged files without transferring anything. > I have set the logging level to 8 to try and capture more data.

Just the PIPE signal when the connection drops. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ 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/
