[BackupPC-users] "read EOF" from windows server

[Ajay S. <ss...@re...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to track down a backuppc issue.  Recently our windows file 
server is starting to get the "child prematurely exited" error.  We're 
backing it up via rsyncd running on the windows machine.

Here's the snip from the 'BackupC_dump -v -f hostname' command:

----------------------------
same     644   400/401    27212288 USERS/...FILENAME....
Read EOF:
Tried again: got 0 bytes
finish: removing in-process file USERS/...FILENAME....
Child is aborting
Parent read EOF from child: fatal error!
Done: 287538 files, 133327795167 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely)
----------------------------

Has anyone seen this before?  Any ideas on a solution?  Is there anyway 
to tell rsync to try a to read the file a few more times?  Could it be a 
bad file on the server and we need to run chkdsk on the server (haven't 
tried that yet).

Thanks for your help.

PS.  BackupPC kicks serious ass...
