Correct, the backup process was terminated due to "Child exited prematurely" every time backuppc attempted to do the backup. You should look at the host Log file for details of what happened during each backup attempt. Possibly none of the backups even started due to some error, possibly each backup ran for some period of time and transferred some data before failing. We don't know from the limited information you have provided. Perhaps you should try the following: 1) login to the backuppc server 2) su - backuppc (or whatever your backuppc user is) 3) /path/to/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f server1 (or whatever the name of your server is) This will show you exactly what is happening when backuppc attempts to do a backup. You should probably tell the backuppc web interface to not run any backups for this host for a couple of hours before you do the above, as I've noticed (at least on the older 2.1 version) that backuppc will launch a new backup while the command line backup is running, and they will "step on each others toes" as far as both writing to the same filenames etc...
