Hi,

I am backing up a linux server via tar and it consistently breaks on 330MB video file with:

/opt/www/html/training_cd/lineitem_img/NWCC-IntroV'1.mpg
tar: Read 6144 bytes from -
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I have tested by this by running $Conf{TarClientCmd} and pipe it into "tar -xvf .". Just wondering what the upper limit on file size is as this seems to be a problem with tar, not with BackupPC.

I have also tried rsync, but that fails consistently on a much smaller *.jpg file.

I am using gnu tar version 1.14 and rsync version 2.6.3 (client), rsync version 2.6.4 (backuppc server).

I can backup smaller directories and files, but once I try to do the larger ones it fails.

Any help in figuring out what is going on is really appreciated (especially ideas to help me debug this).

cheers,

ski
