Well, I have not figured out what the limit is so far. But I'm sure that all protocols (Net-RPC, XML-RPC, Pyro ;) ) have some limit, perhaps depending on other thinks like python version, platform etc. Even if we allowed dbs < Limit to be dumped, that would be a dangerous practice, because an admin would setup that and forget to check his backups the day they cross the limit. It's all dictated by Murphy's Law. So, my advice: Just don't use the client facility for backups. Use pg_dump or continuous backup/replication at the server side. and, by all means: always check your backups! The fact that you had left a backup script running for months doesn't guarrantee you that your data will be available, when you will eventually need them! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of C2C OERPScenario, which is subscribed to the OpenERP Project Group. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614937 Title: backup database unpickling stack underflow Status in OpenObject Server: Incomplete Bug description: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/threading.py", line 486, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/home/terp/OpenERP/branch/server/5.0/bin/netsvc.py", line 400, in run ts.mysend(result) File "/home/terp/OpenERP/branch/server/5.0/bin/tiny_socket.py", line 56, in mysend sent = self.sock.send(msg[totalsent:]) error: (32, 'Broken pipe') the error seems to happen during or after the transfer of the dump to the client.
