I'm running BackupPC v3x and have had no issues with regard to doing backups
both rsync for Linux and rsyncd from Windows machines.
I'm am having issues however, with doing restore opperations.
I have a Windows 2000 server which I having been successfully backing up
every day and I want to restore the data drive on this server to (an
alternate location) a new Windows 2003 server using the rsyncd method.
What happens is that the restore goes fine for about the first 4GB of data
and then eventually comes back with a "cannot read 4 bytes" restore failed
error. I tried a couple times but the same thing keeps happening.
I then thought that I would try the TAR restore option but again all went
well until it reached 3.99GB and then the transfer seems to stop as the is
no futher activity in the pop-up transfer window. My transfer rate seemed to
maintain at around 5MB/sec throughout the transfer.
My question is what could be wrong as it is great to see all your files that
have been backed-up but it's useless if you cannot restore them. I know that
some of you likely have restores or backups that are far larger than my 40
or 50GB.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
