[BackupPC-users] WinXP client backup problems

[Paul S. Gumerman]

This has been driving me nuts. I'm trying to get going with BackupPC, but no matter what, I always seem to have "Child exited prematurely" failures. Here is a more specific error message: 2005-10-10 15:29:57 bethnote2: mkdir /raid5/backuppc/pc/bethnote2/new//fcDrive/fProgram Files/fMozilla Thunderbird/fchrome/foverlayinfo: No space left on device at /usr/local/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm line 537 2005-10-10 15:30:04 Backup failed on bethnote2 (Child exited prematurely) If this is referring to the device where the backups go, it's hogwash! It's a 2.7TB array that still has almost 1.5TB available. Or does this refer to /tmp ???? If that's the case, is there any way to tell the rsync client to use a different place? Please help before I just give up and go back to amanda ... Thanks, Paul
