Backup Central

Hi,
We're testing BackupPC-2.0.2 on a Solaris 9 machine to backup XP clients.
We are using Rsyncd with cygwin-rsyncd-2.6.0 on XP and Rsync 2.6.0 on Solaris.
Am using a clean install of ActivePerl 5.8.3 and File-RsyncP-0.44.

On some machines, I perform the first full backup and it completes ok. Then I
try to do another full backup. It will get so far then just stop, e.g. after
1.2GB if 1.5GB.
It eventually times out after $Conf{ClientTimeout}.
This is happening on a number of machines. Any idea what might be going wrong?

Thought it might be to do with the version of File-RsyncP, tries 0.46 but this
caused backups to fail with this error:

2004/3/8 15:00:50 Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely)
2004/3/8 15:01:01 Dump aborted (Child exited prematurely)

This happens with Perl v5.8.3 and v5.6.1. I had to downgrade to 0.44 to get
backups to work.

I haven't tested BackupPC with ActivePerl. I'm not sure if there
are any differences with the regular cpan perl. Anyone know?

On some machines, I perform the first full backup and it completes
ok. Then I try to do another full backup. It will get so far then
just stop, e.g. after 1.2GB if 1.5GB. It eventually times out after
$Conf{ClientTimeout}. This is happening on a number of machines. Any

Not sure. Could you set $Conf{RsyncLogLevel} to say 6, re-run,
and send me the XferLOG.bad.z file?

Thought it might be to do with the version of File-RsyncP, tries 0.46 but this
caused backups to fail with this error:

2004/3/8 15:00:50 Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely)

That's definitely strange. File-RsyncP hasn't changed very much
from 0.44 to 0.46. Again, could you try it with 0.46 and
$Conf{RsyncLogLevel} set to 6 and send me the XferLOG.bad.z file?

Another check worth doing is to run rsync manually to make sure
it runs cleanly. Look at the top of the XferLOG file to see
the rsync command options used (don't use the --sender and
--server options - these are internal). Run it twice with
the same options.
