I had been using backuppc for about a year without any problems. I upgraded to karmic from jaunty and I started having problems. I have been fighting with this for weeks and today I completely removed backuppc along with the config files and reinstalled. I am still running into the same problems.
Logs are as follows: 2009-11-29 19:03:21 full backup started for directory / 2009-11-29 19:51:14 Got fatal error during xfer (Tar exited with error 512 () status) 2009-11-29 19:51:19 Backup aborted (Tar exited with error 512 () status) 2009-11-29 19:51:19 Saved partial dump 1 Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/XferLOG.1.z, modified 2009-11-29 19:51:19 (Extracting only Errors) Running: sudo /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /home/newsboy --totals --exclude=./proc --exclude=./dev --exclude=./tmp --exclude=./mnt --exclude=./media --exclude=./sys --exclude=./lost+found --exclude=./usr/src --exclude=./var/lib --exclude=./var/tmp --exclude=./var/cache --exclude=./var/spool --exclude=./var/run --exclude=./var/lock --exclude=./var/games --exclude=./home/*/.Trash --exclude=./home/*/.mozilla/*/*/Cache --exclude=./home/*/.mozilla/*/*/Cache.Trash ./ full backup started for directory /home/newsboy Here is the output of ./BackupPC_dump -v -f localhost tarExtract: Got file './etc/cups/thnuclnt.convs', mode 0644, size 91, type 0 create 644 0/0 91 etc/cups/thnuclnt.convs ./etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/ ./etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/debug ./etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/resolvconf ./etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/avahi-autoipd ./etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/samba ./etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ ./etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/zzz_avahi-autoipd ./etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/debug ./etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/rfc3442-classless-routes ./etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntpdate Total bytes written: 22378383360 (21GiB, 7.5MiB/s) /bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors Tar exited with error 512 () status A little bit later output from the same command... tarExtract: Got file './etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntpdate', mode 0644, size 802, type 0 create 644 0/0 802 etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntpdate tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 869 filesExist, 149190240 sizeExist, 128046419 sizeExistComp, 218062 filesTotal, 22169152421 sizeTotal Got fatal error during xfer (Tar exited with error 512 () status) cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 localhost cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING newsboy-desktop (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from newsboy-desktop (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.071 ms If I use a small users home directory as a test to see if everything is working ok I am able to successful complete a backup. Which is leading me to think that this has something to do with the files I'm encountering in a full system backup. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
