Dear all,
I've encountered this same error message several times now.
In my case setting the log level to 5 helped to trace the error back to
several files which seem to have duplicates. The error message always
reads something like:
tarExtract: Botch - got multiple pool file matches
tarExtract: bpc_poolWrite_write: got 2 matching files for digest
d2734b9512114c9e6687a54c7b4f7a50
This seems to be the same problem as mentioned in the recent thread
"Backup failure due to two specific files".
In my case here, when a full backup is running it never comes to an end
and then starts all over again. If it is an incremental backup, however,
everything is fine and the backup completes.
Strangely, this error suddenly shows up for files that have been on the
hosts for ages. I already tried to manually remove the problematic files
from a host, after which the full backups succeed again, but around a
week later other files suddenly start having the same problem.
This first happened a while ago with one host, but recently several
other hosts started having the same problems on Windows 7, 10, and
Server 2008 and it is becoming a serious issue.
So far I helped myself by increasing the full backup period of the hosts
such that only incremental backups are currently running - but this is
obviously not a good solution.
I'm using backuppc 4.2.1, samba version 4.3.11-Ubuntu, and tar (GNU tar)
1.28.
Best regards,
Thorsten

You could look at the "Errors" display option in the host summary web
page, which should make it easier to find an unexpected message. It is
likely close to the end of the file, before any cleanup is done.
You could also email me the XferLOG file.

It means BackupPC_tarExtract encountered a fatal error, and exited
with status 1. There should be an error message in the XferLOG
file, but you should also look in the client or main BackupPC LOG
file.____
