We seem to be routinely having this issue where the server backuppc is running on throws a kernel panic and thus hard locks the machine. It's completely random, sometimes happens daily, sometimes we can have a lucky 2-3 weeks without a lockup. I've taken a screenshot and posted it here:
http://locu.net/misc/kernelp_backuppc.jpg This hardware has been in use for years without as much as a burp before using backuppc, so I'm suspecting this could be an ext3 issue with the multitudes of files and ext3's inability to handle them? Prior to using backup pc, we backed up the same data just in flat .tgz files.
