Hi, to replace an old server, I want to restore a fairly large backup (ca. 450 gigs) onto a new server's disk. The backup is good and complete, according to BackupPC.
(The new server happens to be the same system that BackupPC is installed on, but the restore target fs is on a different disk than the spool fs.) The restore starts, many files are being restored on the target, everything seems to work fine. But then, at some non-reproducible point during the process, the restore simply stalls and stops to do anything. I'm having problems finding out why this happens. The logs are unhelpful. No error messages. Where can I look for the reasons? These are the symptoms: - system load goes down to near 0 - no new files are being written to the target - "top" and "ps ax" tell me that "BackupPC_restore" is running - "lsof" shows that "BackupPC_restore" has one file open and "rsync" has two files open; these files do not change for several minutes (usually, when BackupPC is working, one can use "lsof" to watch its activity on the file system) - the BackupPC web interface tells me "restore in progress" - there is no useful information found in the logs - I looked in "/var/log/BackupPC/LOG" as well as the syslog Thanks, Hanno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
