Backup Central

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue with two of my CentOS 5.x hosts. Do you have an idea
how to further troubleshoot or any hint what's going wrong there?
The backup starts fine- but stays in the running status nearly forever
and finally says "Child exited prematurely". But I don't know why. Only
hint I got is the "Can't open /var/.... for MD4 check (err=-3)". But
this directory exists and is accessible for Backuppc user.

========================================
incr backup started back to 2011-11-13 23:08:51 (backup #934) for
directory /srv/ftp

Thanks for any tips!

If SELinux is enabled, look in /var/log/audit/audit.log to see if it
is blocking access.

No way SE Linux could be enabled out of the sudden. Not on BackupPC and
not on destination host. It's one of the first things I disable on my
Linux installations ;-)

Any other idea?

Greetings

Christian

Disk / RAID faults? check dmesg

Or filesystem corruption if you are sure that file exists and the
owner/permissions are right. You could try unmounting it and running
an fsck.
