I finally succeeded in backing up the problem host on both backup servers. Here is the log of the last two backup attempts: 2007-09-09 15:06:56 full backup started for directory / 2007-09-09 16:06:54 Got fatal error during xfer (Tar exited with error 256 () status) 2007-09-09 16:06:59 Backup aborted (Tar exited with error 256 () status) 2007-09-09 16:06:59 Saved partial dump 254 2007-09-09 16:36:47 full backup started for directory / 2007-09-09 17:36:31 full backup started for directory /mnt/install/test/ 2007-09-09 17:36:34 full backup 254 complete, 467165 files, bytes, 36 xferErrs ( bad files, bad shares, 36 other) Interestingly, although the failed backups don't indicate any errors in the log files, the "Xfer Error Summary" section of the web interface shows over 400000 errors for each failed backup. I attempted several full and incremental backups before finally succeeding. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
