This is my first post to the mailing list. Love the program. Thank you!! I have two clients that performed full and incremental backups for about a week, then stopped. I have tried everything to get them to back up with no success. One is running Solaris 7 (Gnu tar version 1.13.19) and the other Red Hat Linux 7.3 (Gnu tar version 1.13.25). BackupPC server is version 1.5.0 running on Red Hat 7.3, perl version 5.6.1. There's no error message in the log, just this: 2003/3/24 15:30:00 full backup started for directory / (xferPid=12609, tarPid=12608) 2003/3/24 19:14:55 cleaning up after signal ALRM In the case of the Solaris client, I removed it from the BackupPC hosts file, then re-named its backup directory, then added it back to the hosts file - essentially went back to baseline - and tried a full backup. No luck. I increased the {SmbClientTimeout} value to 10800. Still no joy. Would appreciate any help getting these guys backed up! __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I assume the compression libs somehow got munged in my case; when I turned off compression, it worked like a champ. I haven't tried to fix it yet, just letting it operate with compression off. It's something to look into anyhow... Matt |
