Seems odd to me that it's trying to back up a socket at all. AFAICR neither rsync nor rsync-bpc (at least recent versions) will read a socket without for example being given the '--specials' option. I believe it's mentioned in the rsync-bpc changelogs for around 2006. Anyway I'd definitely want to avoid trying to back up sockets, raw devices, and anything like that. Last time I had BackupPC transfers timing out was when something which used X went off the reservation and wrote *huge* hidden errors file in a user's home directory. Took a while to find. :/ -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
