I've been backing up my house with backuppc a very long time and never had any problems. I was using the rsyncd method, but a couple months ago it dawned on me that I wasn't getting all the files because of permissions so I switched to the ssh/tar method and it continued to work just fine.
However, over the last little while things have stopped working. I have three 'hosts' that go overnight and not one of them works. With the ssh/tar method I get 'unexpected end of tar file' and with the ssh/rsync (as opposed to rsyncd) method I get 'Got fatal error error during xfer (aborted by signal=PIPE)' It almost seems to me like ssh is dying. To make matters worse, sometimes it takes my entire system down with it and spontaneously reboots. I do notice ssh using up almost 80% cpu while the backup is going but otherwise I don't see anything abnormal, other then the system going away... I've done the following two things in the last month: 1) increased my RAM from 1G to 3G 2) upgraded from ubuntu 7.10 to ubuntu 8.10 I just tried upgrading backuppc from whatever version I have to the newest one, and it's still doing the same thing. Please help??!? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
