Something interesting happened, I believe the 2nd attempt was successful, but 
another full backup was automatically started and erased the old one that ended 
with a different error:


2018-08-21 00:20:58 Aborting backup up after signal INT
2018-08-21 00:21:00 Got fatal error during xfer (Unexpected end of tar archive)
2018-08-21 00:21:02 Saved partial dump 0

I may have actually set this up incorrectly or something. I'm very new to Linux.

I'll figure this out tomorrow. I need sleep.

I am using BackupPC 3.3.1 and Version 4.3.11 of smb (I used "smbstatus 
--version" to get that verison)


I have also realized that this isn't the latest version which is interesting. 
If that's the reason why the backup failed then I'm not the smartest one when 
it comes to checking things before asking for help...

What versions of BackupPC and smbclient are you using?

Hello, I recently was given a Dell Precision T1500 and decided to finally make 
a backup server. I wanted to backup my storage drive (Drive letter E) offsite 
automatically from my main computer which runs Windows 7. So I found out about 
BackupPC and set it up according to this source: 
https://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc and was able to start a backup. I had 
personal errands to take care of so I left the backup to run and came back to 
this in the XferLOG:

This snippet is from the top of the log:

Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share E)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share E)
Saving this as a partial backup, replacing the prior one (got 11 and 0 files 
versus 0)


Of course the entire drive was not backed up and when looking at the partial 
backup, there are folders with a random string of characters that include the 
"diamond with the question mark in the middle" I am currently running a full 
backup again as I have added some exclusions to the settings which I forgot to 
do before starting the backup. I have no idea what any of this means and a 
google search came up inconclusive.

Thanks for the help.
