Actually, if I use the -z/--compress option in rsync or use ssh compression BackupPC dies after a few hours (aborted by signal=PIPE). Any suggestions on how to figure out why this is failing. Works fine without compression, but takes forever... 2008-02-19 14:59:05 full backup started for directory / 2008-02-19 22:25:42 Aborting backup up after signal PIPE 2008-02-19 22:25:48 Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by signal=PIPE) 2008-02-19 22:25:48 Saved partial dump 43 2008-02-19 23:00:01 removing incr backup 27 Nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
