With an error like "Cannot allocate memory", the first thing I would
check is available memory. BackupPC needs lots of memory, especially
with rsync transfers and a large number of files to backup. Monitor
available memory on both the server and client (if possible) while the
backup is running to see if you are running out of memory.
