The ClientTimeout setting may be your real issue though. A running
backup should never time out as long as anything is transferring, even
if it takes days to complete but with rsync that value can be for the
whole backup.

Maybe it is a bug that has been fixed in the current version but I
know I have seen situations where the backup ended with an Alarm
signal but files in the backup had been updating not long before the
timeout. I assumed

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
files to disk. Since my workstation is behind an ADSL connection,
the backup eventually

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?

The best solution would be to have enough bandwidth to meet your

Forgot to mention that you might have to bump ClientTimeout way up.

PS, the real problem with what you are seeing is possibly that backuppc
isn't backing up one of the large files before being interrupted/timing
out. Since it doesn't continue the backup from the middle of the file,

Given that the fate and timing of a new 4.x version of BackupPC is

Otherwise you'd have to poke though the code to see why it prefers the
previous full.
