Anyone have any thoughts? > In my case it was between two linux boxes. One running Centos-4.3, the server and the other running Fedora-4. Same thing happens though. It's backing up 2 partitions both about 40Gb from the Fedora box. Goes through the first one OK. Starts the second one and partway through the error appears. But not at the same file each time. I thought it might be the 4.8Gb file that was causing the problem but it appears not. Funny thing is when I ran the backup during the day as a user requested backup it ran OK. Last night I separated out the two partitions to two separate backups using two separate pc/host directories and it also worked OK. So I'm stumped. For tonights run I've put both back together into one pc/host directory and included the large file. So I'll let you know what happens.
