I'd like to get to the bottom of this.
First, please summarize your relevant $Conf Xfer settings for this host.
Can you email the first several lines of the XferLOG file, in particular
the lines that print which external commands it is running.
When the tar backup appears to be stalled, please do the following:
- run ps auxww (options might vary based on which server OS you are
running), and find the relevant backups processes: BackupPC_dump,
BackupPC_tarExtract, and the corresponding ssh command that runs the remote
tar.
- run "strace -p PID" as root, for each number PID listed by ps above.
Please send me the output.
- wait a few mins, re-run the strace commands and see if the output is
the same.
We should probably take these details off-list - just email them to me
directly.
