Hello, I back up a Windows NT 4.0 server by running BackupPC 2.1.1 on an Ubuntu Linux box, and then backing up a directory on localhost to which the NT server is mounted. I am getting strange errors in the Xfer logs. The majority of the 15+GB of data that I backup is fine. But it seems to have trouble with Quickbooks files and a few totally random files. I am having trouble putting confidence in this system, since the errors seem to be very random. Sometime there are 8 errors, all the way up to 12 errors. The file in question usually get backed up somewhere within the 8 day backup cycle, but sometimes not. Below is a common error log. Any suggestions please? Thanks a lot! -------Xfer Log------------- Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root localhost /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --dev ices --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive . /media/myco_nt_server/160gb_drive_on_myco_nt_server/ Xfer PIDs are now 8218 Got remote protocol 28 Xfer PIDs are now 8218,8241 [ skipped 91 lines ] Intuit/myco_IncQB2003.qbI: md4 doesn't match: will retry in phase 1; file removed Remote[1]: rsync: read errors mapping "/media/myco_nt_server/160gb_drive_on_myco_nt_server/Intuit/myco_IncQB2003.q bI": Input/output error (5) Intuit/myco_IncQB2003.qbw: md4 doesn't match: will retry in phase 1; file removed Remote[1]: rsync: read errors mapping "/media/myco_nt_server/160gb_drive_on_myco_nt_server/Intuit/myco_IncQB2003.q bw": Input/output error (5) [ skipped 3403 lines ] Can't link /var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/new/f%2fmedia%2fmyco_nt_server%2f160gb_drive_ on_myco_nt_server/fcust_myco/fmyco_files/fpz_thunderbird_mail/fProfiles/fbm7 4yt0u.default/fextensions/fExtensions.rdf to /var/lib/backuppc/pool/9/f/b/9fbfee17864fc91e5566c6273e6120d5 [ skipped 47 lines ] outlook_data/user1/mailbox.pst: md4 doesn't match: will retry in phase 1; file removed Remote[1]: rsync: read errors mapping "/media/myco_nt_server/160gb_drive_on_myco_nt_server/outlook_data/user1/mail box.pst": Input/output error (5) [ skipped 20 lines ] Can't link /var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/new/f%2fmedia%2fmyco_nt_server%2f160gb_drive_ on_myco_nt_server/ftbird_data/fextensions/fExtensions.rdf to /var/lib/backuppc/pool/9/f/b/9fbfee17864fc91e5566c6273e6120d5 [ skipped 48 lines ] Can't link /var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/new/f%2fmedia%2fmyco_nt_server%2f160gb_drive_ on_myco_nt_server/ftbird_data/fzzzzzzz-clutter/fProfiles/fbm74yt0u.default/f extensions/fExtensions.rdf to /var/lib/backuppc/pool/9/f/b/9fbfee17864fc91e5566c6273e6120d5 [ skipped 2 lines ] Intuit/myco_IncQB2003.qbI: fatal error: md4 doesn't match on retry; file removed MD4 does't agree: fatal error on #1612 (Intuit/myco_IncQB2003.qbI) Remote[1]: rsync: read errors mapping "/media/myco_nt_server/160gb_drive_on_myco_nt_server/Intuit/myco_IncQB2003.q bI": Input/output error (5) Intuit/myco_IncQB2003.qbw: fatal error: md4 doesn't match on retry; file removed MD4 does't agree: fatal error on #1613 (Intuit/myco_IncQB2003.qbw) Remote[1]: rsync: read errors mapping "/media/myco_nt_server/160gb_drive_on_myco_nt_server/Intuit/myco_IncQB2003.q bw": Input/output error (5) outlook_data/user1/mailbox.pst: fatal error: md4 doesn't match on retry; file removed MD4 does't agree: fatal error on #72947 (outlook_data/user1/mailbox.pst) Remote[1]: rsync: read errors mapping "/media/myco_nt_server/160gb_drive_on_myco_nt_server/outlook_data/user1/mail box.pst": Input/output error (5) Done: 18 files, 67014673 bytes |

Hmmm. I have several users, who usually leave their programs up and running overnight. I don't see why there should be an issue just copying the locked files. If I were changing them, I see what you mean. Is there a way to disable the checksumming? That would possibly fix the QB errors.
