I split a host to two backups, because dump directory contains virtual

time but XferLOGbad shows this:

Child is aborting
Done: 89 files, 910772510921 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by signal=ALRM)
Backup aborted by user signal
Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the
prior one (got 89 and 89 files versus 176002)
Does the last line mean BackupPC things this backup ought to have
176002
files, and since only 89 files got backed up this backup is thrown
away?
The same host is backed up twice, I added exclude for that dump/
director and this new backup only backs up that dump/ directory.
There are a few things to address here:
* The removed in-process file -- presumably, you want to back this up;
since it's a huge file, there may be issues with timeout settings, et
al. but the log is saying it's not backed up.
* "Splitting a host into two backups" isn't necessarily the best idea.
While it can work for non-overlapping shares, you're working against the
grain in terms of fills, etc. What you probably want to do is split the
host into two hosts and manage them independently, so BackupPC is making
the right assumptions in terms of how to do fills, what to keep, etc.
* As you work through these issues, you probably want to include the
relevant configs, e.g., rsync parameters for 100G files and how you're
splitting the hosts.
