[BackupPC-users] Restore starts then pauses
I'm restoring about 400 GB of user directories and I'm puzzled. Restoring was going well, then all of a sudden it just pauses and does nothing for about an hour now. I can monitor my network bandwidth and its only transferring about 20 KB/s from the BackupPC server. I can't find any log that will tell me what's its transferring at this moment (or if anything). Any suggestions? -- Jeremy Mann jer...@biochem.uthscsa.edu University of Texas Health Science Center Bioinformatics Core Facility http://www.bioinformatics.uthscsa.edu Phone: (210) 567-2672 -- ___ 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/

How are you restoring the files? Restoring them directly to the machine they came from? if so, to a new directory or to the original directory? Me, I don't trust giving the backup server write access to the machines; so I just create a tarball using BackupPC_tarCreate, move that to the machine in question, and unpack it. You might try the same if you continue to have problems. (If you don't have enough space on your backup server to create the tarball, remember that netcat is your friend.) -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com -- ___ 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/

I'm using rsync to restore from the BackupPC server to the client.

Right now I've stopped the backup and am doing each directory manually. I'm just curious if the sheer amount of data (~400 GB) I selected to restore confused the program. -- Jeremy Mann jer...@biochem.uthscsa.edu University of Texas Health Science Center Bioinformatics Core Facility http://www.bioinformatics.uthscsa.edu Phone: (210) 567-2672 -- ___ 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/
