Backup keeps failing for one machine
Author Message
Post Backup keeps failing for one machine 
Hello,

I'm backing up a bunch of machine using BackupPC 3.1.0. Everything has
been working fine for a long time, but since a couple of days backups
for one machine have been failing. The XferLOG for the last partial
backup has this error message:

Unable to open /mnt/backup/backuppc/pc/<machine-name>/new/<long-
filename> for writing after link fail\n

Whenever the backup for this machine starts the load on BackupPC
server jumps up to ~10, while it's ~1-2 when other backups are
running. Could this be a case of corruption or something? That 'link
fail' is worrying me. Any advice?

Nils Breunese.

More info: I stopped BackupPC, unmounted the backup drive and ran fsck
-c -f -v on it. That didn't show any errors. (I mounted it again and
started BackupPC again afterwards.)
