This says dumper on the server last heard from sendbackup on the client
30 minutes ago and gave up waiting. This (probably) has nothing to do
with your tapes or drive and possibly nothing to do with the size of the
file system being backed up unless tar is doing something really strange.
What version of tar are you using?
What kind of connection exists between client and server? Any firewalls
or that kind of thing?
What OS and version is the client? The server?
What happens if you run the tar command listed in sendbackup*debug
but replace the listed-incremental filename with an empty file (e.g.
cp /dev/null to /tmp/empty and use that) and send stdout to /dev/null?
Is there any chance you can catch it in this state and run a truss on
the sendbackup to see what it is doing? And maybe attach a debugger
to sendbackup and GNU tar to find out where they are ("where" to get a
stack traceback)?
You're not the only one that has seen this, although you're the first
who's also tied in 2.4.1.
