The logfile should have something more specific than that - but it
sounds like a timeout or some kind of write error (weird windows
permissions - or writing a file too big to a FAT filesystem?). If you
have enough space on the backuppc server, you might restore there with
BackupPC_tarCreate |tar -x, then worry separately about how to get the
results back to the windows box. If you have cygwin ssh and rsync
installed that would be the obvious thing (issuing the command from the
windows side) since it can restart efficiently after a problem. Or you
could samba-share from the server - but you'd need something like
robocopy to recover from any errors in the copy since the native windows
tools won't.
