Just an update on what I'm seeing, Monday afternoon I ran backup-manager -d, the debug log is attached. This completed successfully, so I don't know how useful it will be.
Tuesday, backup-manager failed as this bug describes. For some reason it tried to create the master backups again, so I have: -rw-rw---- 1 root backup 10771152347 2008-04-21 16:43 workgroup-home.20080421.master.tar.gz -rw------- 1 root root 10835216617 2008-04-22 20:08 workgroup-home.20080422.master.tar.gz in my archive directory. I have tried to append -d to the backup-manager command in /etc/cron.daily/backup-manager but it causes the process to hang with a number of zombie processes created. I'll have to look into it more. Any suggestions as to how to proceed/whats different when backup-manager is run from cron?
