Hm, I have a suspicion that backuppc somehow or somewhere doesn't play nice with big files, even with huge timeout settings. Where 'big' is larger than about 400 MB. I only use rsync-over-ssh or rsyncd, so I don't know if this is backuppc related or rsync related. What you can try is see if regular rsync does work. You'll probably need to install an rsync daemon on your backuppc server, but that shouldn't interfere. Then execute the same command as backuppc does to try and backup the problematic directory. If that does work, that it isn't any charset issue, but more likely something in backuppc (bug in rsyncp, backuppc itself or your config). In that case, I still think you should collect as much debug info as possible (output from tcpdump, strace and logfiles from backuppc) and report back to this list or to Craig Barratt personally. Maybe he or we can then see what's going on. > Please help. > > Sam.
