Re: [BackupPC-users] Ssh/Rsync transfer fails intermittently

2012-03-06 Thread Chris Mavrakis
Thanks again for your answers. I just did subsequent full backups until all 5GB of data were copied (usually getting ~120MB transferred each time). Then, an incremental backup takes less than an hour so it works ok! But if I happen to have big changes I might implement the custom rsync method.. A

Ok, I verified it, whatever one does, the ssh connection is terminated after 1h1'. So the only "solution" to this would be to have backuppc retry again and again until the sum of the files is transfered, and the final backup is successful :). Maybe I can simulate this behavior by setting > $Conf{

Thanks.. Maybe it's one of the things Tim said (firewall/ssh limit), but I can't influence these settings as the remote server is on a shared hosting plan. (my own firewall is ok) I have no control over sshd_config etc... or the remote routers/firewall. I also tried to add in the rsync command :

BackupPC works good on my LAN but has problems backing-up a remote server of mine. I'm using rsync over ssh and have increased max ping to 500 because the remote server is far away. Almost always the transfer is ending after 1h01'or 1h02'. These values in seconds are 3660 and 3720. Maybe they app
