Hello,
We are happily using BPC 4 since almost a year, without problems.
Except since a few days ago, where one system backup began to fail
consistently. After some tests, it seems the failure occurs when
backing
a (recent and) huge directory containing 111000+ files (some tools are
just weird). Those files are not too big, amounting to a little bit
less
than 550 Mb.
Does this ring a bell to anyone ? And is there a way out to get the
backup all right, knowing that reorganizing the directory content is
not
possible ?
Tia,
Well, yes. rsync 3.1.x has a bug which might be directly affecting your
transfer, and sounds related to your use case:

If this is the case, either upgrading (or downgrading) should take care
of the issue.
I note that there are (of course) other things that can cause the same
symptoms, from a poor network connection to disk corruption, but I'd
start with the above.
