just skips them ?!?! thats not good. i'm going to have to take care of that. > I don't know what those last two errors are.

I still suspect memory issues, but it's > just a hunch. i also read a different post on a problem with backuppc crashing when continuing from a partial backup (but of course i can't find the post now). the full backup in my situation IS ALSO trying to continue from a partial backup. what do i have to do to make backuppc start the full backup from scratch instead from a partial??? i want to try this.
