[BackupPC-users] backup failures

[Stephen Vaughan]

I'm performing a backup on a folder which contains about 1,000,00 files spread over about 10,000 folders. I'm using rsync 2.6.4 on both the backuppc server and the machine I am trying to backup. I can't workout why I keep getting this problem... I'm doing an incremental backup and it gets to a particular file/directory every time I try and fails and it starts deleting all these folders and then says "Backup aborted (Child exited prematurely)".

I've got the logging level turned way up on backuppc, so thats the reason for the strange logs.

Also this is what is displayed on the rsyncd logs:

----------------------------------------------------------------------rsync logs---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2006/04/13 17:31:14 [10800] rsync: error writing 108 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Connection reset by peer
