While doing my first real backup, which included 40Gb of data, I eventually saw this error:
tarsnap: Connection lost, waiting 30 seconds before reconnecting tarsnap: Connection lost, waiting 60 seconds before reconnecting tarsnap: Connection lost, waiting 90 seconds before reconnecting tarsnap: Connection lost, waiting 90 seconds before reconnecting tarsnap: Too many network failures tarsnap: Error storing chunk 39304ac482fc548c57492120287fd20831557dfd32049b4f37c38a8834b63374 tarsnap: Error in chunk storage layer tarsnap: Error writing archive I'm trying to work out how to resume the backup, if that's possible. I'm doing this to backup a computer over a broadband connection, so internet connection is not always reliable, and it is always slow, and I need to be able to tolerate more network errors. Further, when I try to "--list-archives" to see if that gives any more details, I just get this error message: $ tarsnap --list-archives tarsnap: Callbacks uninitialized tarsnap: Callbacks uninitialized tarsnap: Error listing archives Any guidance would be appreciated - even if it is "tarsnap is not appropriate for your use case".
