Thanks George for responding.
With respect to your reference to: “split the host into two”, how does
one actually do that? My host references a certain computer
consisting of various drives to be backed up. How does one split that
host into two separate hosts and (presumably) back up each of those
hosts? Thanks.

No great suggestions for resolution from me but I have some sympathy
with you having had similar issues occasionally in the past.
I have a number of rsyncd hosts set up on my main Win10 desktop -
basically one for each disk or part of to keep the backups down to a
reasonable duration. I'm running DeltaCopy Server.
When one of my backups 'stalled' after having worked for a while, it
would do as you have found and stall at the same place each time.
Other disks/hosts were not affected and completed fine, so it was
nothing intrinsically wrong with DeltaCopy or backuppc. I could
monitor the file transfer via the Win10 Task Manager>Performance Tab >
Resource Monitor > Disk tab and selecting the right rsync process for
the problematic disk. At least that gave me confidence that the
transfer was starting properly and progressing - and I could tell when
it properly stuck, and at which folder on the Win10 machine.
I couldn't find any informative messages in the backuppc logs to help
me solve it. When I manually stopped the backups, the partial backups
were generally removed or merged and the logs just showed that I had
aborted the xfer.
What seems to have helped overcome the problem is, although I fail to
understand quite why, are:
- splitting the host into two, and
- copying the files from the folder at which the transfer stalled into
another folder, and
- I probably checked the Win10 folder permissions were OK and
inherited by sub-folders.

Dear All,
I backup a couple of Windows machines to a linux machine via
rsync. However, the backup for one of the Windows machines never
finishes and results in a partial backup. In the CGI user
interface Count column, the backup always seems to hang at 311941
for hours and hours. Then at some point, the backup apparently
stops and afterwards another backup which by that time has queued
up starts anew. Never do I get a completed backup only a partial
(at least for the last year or so).
Is there a way to start a backup from the command line and have
the screen show what in real time is actually being backed up? If
so, what would that command be? It may be that the BackupPC is
somehow getting stuck on a file but that is only speculation.
Any other ideas as to what my be happening?
I decompressed the partial backup log file (backup #884) using the
command BackupPC_zcat XferLOG.884.z. I have reproduced the bottom
portion below.
Any assistance in helping to track down what is happening is
appreciated. I do see in the log that there is an error message
indicating an “error in the rsync protocol data stream (code 12)
at io.c(226).
Thanks in advance.
Best, Akibu
