Hi there, I am using Backup PC for backing up data from one RAID device to an other one within the same PC. So there is only the loop network device involved.
I backup 2 TB of data (~3502304 inodes) daily from one RAID device to an other. Every 2 month a full backup is done. But the incremental backups were only running all 5 to 7 days because of the following error: 2016-02-24 06:00:01 incr backup started back to 2016-02-18 22:00:01 (backup #44) for directory benutzer 2016-02-24 06:32:07 Aborting backup up after signal PIPE 2016-02-24 06:32:08 Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by signal=PIPE) Then sometimes it works correctly 2 or 3 times in a row, then 5 times not. Here are some variables you may want to know about my configuration: ClientTimeout = 72000 ClientNameAlias = 127.0.0.1 XferMethod = rsyncd ClientCharset = utf-8 RsyncShareName = benutzer RSyncUserName = backuppc RsyncPasswd = ******* RsyncAuthRequired = True RSyncCsumCacheVerifyProb = 0.01 BackupFilesExclude = ['*.pyc', '.AppleDB', '.AppleDesktop', '.AppleDouble', '.DS_Store', ....] RsyncdClientPort = 873 RsyncArgs = ['--numeric-ids', '--perms', '--owner', '--group', '-D', '--links', '--hard-links', '--times', '--block-size=2048', '--recursive', '--timeout=604800'] RsyncArgsExtra = '' FullPeriod = 55.97 FullKeepCnt = 2 FullKeepCntMin = 1 FullAgeMax = 90 IncrPeriod = 0.97 IncrKeepCnt = 60 IncrKeepCntMin = 7 IncrAgeMax = 120 IncrLevels = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14] IncrFill = False BackupsDisable = 0 BlackoutBadPingLimit = 3 BlackoutGoodCnt = 7 BlackoutPeriods = [['hourBegin' : 7, 'hourEnd' : 20, 'weekDays' : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]]] PartialAgeMax = 3 RestoreInfoKeepCnt = 10 ArchiveInfoKeepCnt = 10 BackupZeroFilesIsFatal = True I already read lots of threads and blog posts about that error. I also searched the mailing list archive. But I was not able to solve the problem with that help. Most of the people in these threads, blog posts and mails were also not able to solve their issue. There all had in common that there are backing up data through the network, but I do it on the same machine. I thought that could be help figuring out the problem. I sometimes had the feeling that the backup runs smoothly if many files were changed on the file system. If there were not that many changes it came to the error mentioned above. But this is only an assumption.
