I have a fairly old computer, a ~6yr old dual 3.4GHz Pentium 4 that is running Fedora 12. It's (past) time for an upgrade. I'm want to do a clean install as the requirements for boot partition size have increased and so I need a good complete backup before I start.
The problem I'm having is that whenever I try to do a full backup, the computer locks up. There are no messages in any of the logs to indicate what might have caused the problem. Interestingly, incremental backups work OK. Here's some output from the BackupPc log. 2012-02-16 01:00:00 Next wakeup is 2012-02-16 02:00:00 2012-02-16 01:00:10 Started full backup on steve (pid=5106, share=/) 2012-02-16 01:18:15 Finished admin1 (BackupPC_nightly 128 255) 2012-02-16 01:18:19 BackupPC_nightly now running BackupPC_sendEmail 2012-02-16 01:18:42 Finished admin (BackupPC_nightly -m 0 127) 2012-02-16 01:18:42 Pool nightly clean removed 0 files of size 0.00GB 2012-02-16 01:18:42 Pool is 0.00GB, 0 files (0 repeated, 0 max chain, 0 max links), 1 directories 2012-02-16 01:18:42 Cpool nightly clean removed 0 files of size 0.00GB 2012-02-16 01:18:42 Cpool is 181.90GB, 799760 files (63 repeated, 27 max chain, 2403 max links), 4369 directories 2012-02-16 09:06:56 Reading hosts file 2012-02-16 09:06:56 BackupPC started, pid 4161 2012-02-16 09:06:57 Running BackupPC_trashClean (pid=4163) 2012-02-16 09:06:57 Next wakeup is 2012-02-16 10:00:00 2012-02-16 09:13:08 User steve requested backup of steve (steve) 2012-02-16 09:13:10 Started incr backup on steve (pid=4235, share=/) 2012-02-16 09:39:13 Finished incr backup on steve 2012-02-16 09:39:13 Running BackupPC_link steve (pid=4373) 2012-02-16 09:39:25 Finished steve (BackupPC_link steve) 2012-02-16 10:00:01 Next wakeup is 2012-02-16 11:00:00 You can see that the full backup was initiated at 1am. At 9am the computer was completely locked - screen on, ie screensaver had not kicked in, no mouse or keyboard response so I rebooted and forced an incremental. I thought it may be a problem with the HD but I forced an e2fsck on boot and no change. Ideas? Thanks, Steve PS. I'm using tar as the backup method and full backups used to work. -- Changing lives one card at a time http://www.send1cardnow.com
