[BackupPC-users] backups don't complete - don't know why
Hi All, I've been using BackupPC for several years. I've used it at home, for clients, and at my current full-time employer. It's awesome software - I love it. Lately, backuppc has been unable to backup my Fedora 10 machine at home (backuppc is running on the same box, and the backuppc package is provided by Fedora 10). More precisely, the backup moves along nicely until it hits /home, where the backup just hangs. If I run the backup from the command line, this is the log output I see: full backup started for directory /home; updating partial #147 started full dump, share=/home Running: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --checksum-seed=32761 --one-file-system --ignore-times . /home/ Xfer PIDs are now 11778 xferPids 11778 Got remote protocol 30 Negotiated protocol version 28 Checksum caching enabled (checksumSeed = 32761) Got checksumSeed 0x7ff9 ^CfileListReceive() failed Done: 0 files, 0 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed) Backup aborted by user signal Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one (got 20245 and 0 files versus 20245) dump failed: fileListReceive failed link ranbir I cancelled the backup at the point where backuppc output the line "Got checksumSeed 0x7ff9" because backuppc didn't do anything for over an hour. I've been having this same issue for a month now. I've tried debugging, but nothing so far has helped. I had 146 successful backups before this issue came up. Does anyone know what's going on?

There was nothing strange about the file other than it was one of the few that had changed since the backup stopped working.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Restore issues
Hi Matthias, All my xferlogs say they have 0 errors (apart from one, but that was after the problem occurred anyway)... I've had a look at them, but they are... quite long... Without knowing what to search for, I'm not sure what I can do with them... If they report no errors, I guess I can assume all files are backing up properly?

You should provide us with your configuration. Especially:
$Conf{FullPeriod}
$Conf{IncrPeriod}
$Conf{FullKeepCnt}
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin}
$Conf{FullAgeMax}
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt}
$Conf{IncrKeepCntMin}
$Conf{IncrAgeMax}
$Conf{IncrLevels}
Furthermore please send us information of already stored backups of the
relevant host. Please provide backup-date, backup-number and backup-type.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Restore issues
You should check the backup log file XferLOG. Each file which can not backup will be logged theire, including the reason. br Matthias -- Don't Panic -- ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
