I currently have three hosts going. The first two are "behaving" ok and
are on backup # 6 or 7 already. Method is all rsyncd.
The third host, "Mary's iMac" (OSX) is stalled in backup #0. It has
three shares. The first share, her home directory, proceeded fine.
Everything backed up. The second share, a backup of a very large photo
storage, is stalled about midway through. rsync has produced all the
folders and has gone through part of letter O successfully, but the
rest of the folders are empty from "Orlando" through to folder
'z.....". It's been about 22 hours in this exact condition:
Host marys-imac.local Backup Summary
This PC is used by root.Host marys-imac.local is queued on the user
queue (will be backed up soon).Last status is state "backup in
progress" as of 6/4 12:22.Pings to marys-imac.local have succeeded 8
consecutive times.
The server host summary also says "backup in progress".
Is there any way I can examine what backuppc is doing or attempting to
do "now"? To try and figure out why it is stalled.
---------------------
I had the same problem with this same client four days ago, after it
had been stalled for 48 hours, when it was stalled around letter "k". I
became concerned that maybe my having added some excludes while the
backup was going, so I decided to wipe the storage (using the command
"BackupPC_backupDelete" and start over and watch it like a hawk, not
changing any settings. The delete wiped 168320 directories. Then I
started a full backup from the GUI and at first the GUI reported that
the backup was missing but that soon cleared up.
I'm not sure if it stalled exactly at the same place but it was a
similar place about midway through the backup.
Any ideas?
Bob
