[BackupPC-users] Rsync Errors

[Dan D N. <da...@mo...>]

I just started experimenting with BackupPC.  It seemed to be working
more or less fine until it got to the first level 0 after the initial
one.  I am using the rsync transfer method.  Last night it was
supposed to do a level 0, but it didn't work.

From the logs:


2004/5/6 20:00:00 full backup started for directory /
2004/5/6 22:04:46 cleaning up after signal ALRM
2004/5/6 23:00:01 full backup started for directory /
2004/5/7 01:02:54 cleaning up after signal ALRM
2004/5/7 02:00:01 full backup started for directory /
2004/5/7 04:02:47 cleaning up after signal ALRM
2004/5/7 05:00:01 full backup started for directory /
2004/5/7 07:03:12 cleaning up after signal ALRM

I checked the logs on the client system, and I do not see anything wrong
with it.  The client is Solaris 7.

The server is a Dell 2650 that is doing nothing except BackupPC. I
currently only have two clients configured for BackupPC.  I don't see
anything in the server's logs either. I have plenty of disk left:

Filesystem      Size   Used  Avail Capacity iused     ifree %iused  Mounted on
/dev/amrd1s1b   1.4T    14G   1.2T     1%  438923 188471667    0%   /backup

Any ideas what might be causing the sig ALRM?  Am I correct that it
was the server process that received the ALRM?

Any help would be appreciated.
