Dear list,
I am very happy with BackupPC, except that it hasn't been able to
back up my workstation for more than 3 months. It started a full
backup on 14 May 2012, shortly after I had stored a set of large

The fix I've used is to --exclude a good chunk of the backup so it does
finish in a day, then --exclude a little less the next time it runs, and
so forth.
I have used this method, which you and Les suggested. And yes, it
works.
Thinking outloud here - could you change the sync method to SMB to get a
new full copy, then switch back to rSync?

PS, the real problem with what you are seeing is possibly that backuppc
