I have BackupPC setup with three host configurations to backup three
separate areas of one system. Two of the hosts configurations are
working. One repeatedly fails with the messages:
Can't write 33792 bytes to socket
Can't write 35328 bytes to socket
...
Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by signal=PIPE)
I would appreciate help determining why the backups are failing and how
to keep it from failing again. I also would like help to recover the
backup archive so that I don't have to delete the entire backup and
start over.
I am using version 3.3.1, on Ubuntu 14.04. I am backing up over the
network to a Netgear ReadyNAS 102. When the backup is working I can get
up to 80 MB/s transfer rate to and from the NAS.
The first time this happened I deleted the entire backup for this host.
It then works for a few backup cycles but then fails again. The back
cycles were able to make a full, two incremental, a full, two
incremental. Then it failed again with these same errors on a full backup.
When the backup failed the first time, I tried to find what file was
causing the failure by analyzing logs and excluding files. But the file
the that was being backed up at the time the backup failed changed.
I have set the logging level to 8 to try and capture more data. There is
the portion of the log for the file that is failing and the previous file:

Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the
prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 16)
Thank you for your help.
