Hi,
Another way to find out what's going on, could be to add -v to the ssh
command (remote schema).
I had a similar problem, and kluged my way through using a
python script to write a rdiff-backup shell script that added
top-level directories
one at a time. By check pointing in this way I avoided having to
start over each time I lost the connection. Once I got the full
directory tree backed up the incrementals were small enough
to avoid whatever problem was causing the drops.
Specifically, the script below writes a file called write_backup.sh
that looks like this:
#!/bin/bash -v
echo '+++climate_data/gpcp+++'
/home/phil/usr64/bin/rdiff-backup --include climate_data/gpcp
--exclude '**' --remote-schema 'ssh -C %s
/home/phil/usr64/bin/rdiff-backup --server' -v 8 climate_data
backup_phil::/media/green1/climate_data
echo '+++climate_data/agcm3+++'
/home/phil/usr64/bin/rdiff-backup --include climate_data/gpcp
--include climate_data/agcm3 --exclude '**' --remote-schema 'ssh -C
%s /home/phil/usr64/bin/rdiff-backup --server' -v 8 climate_data
backup_phil::/media/green1/climate_data
echo '+++climate_data/modis+++'
/home/phil/usr64/bin/rdiff-backup --include climate_data/gpcp
--include climate_data/agcm3 --include climate_data/modis --exclude
'**' --remote-schema 'ssh -C %s /home/phil/usr64/bin/rdiff-backup
--server' -v 8 climate_data backup_phil::/media/green1/climate_data
etc.
