Is there a reason you're using the 'tar' backup method instead of 'rsync'? Rsync tends to workd better for most circumstances. To debug this, you can try looking at the error log. On the BackupPC page for each host you back up, there is a 'XferLog' link for each backup. You can click on that link and look at the errors generated as the backup runs. Alternatively, try running the BackupPC_dump command by hand. 1. become the 'backuppc' user 2. run '/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -f -v host.example.com' 3. watch the output scroll by, and see where it stops. This may be where your problem is localized. It's likely that the backup is stumbling over a named pipe, socket file, symlink loop, or some other artifact on the filesystem which needs to be excluded. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
