I doubt is to do with SSH. My guess is that your (C) backup repository
was already somehow corrupted on the destination. So when you tried to
run another session to it, rdiff-backup automatically started a
regression to get back to a safe starting point for the backup. In
itself this can take a very long time, and also regressions of larger
archives can require a *lot* of temporary space; if this runs out then
the backup might hang. I suggest running something like this on the server:
rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir --tempdir
/somewhere/with/lots/of/space
/mnt/hda1/rdiffbackup.repositorys/username@computername

Hi all,
I have 3 windows 7 computers scheduled to perform an rdiff-backup over
ssh to a microcore linux server each day at 6pm.
Backups are triggered on all 3 computers at 6pm by windows task
scheduler each day.
I'm using volume shadowing to create a snapshot of my files, which is
needed for open outlook pst files.
Here's an example.
rdiff-backup --force -v3 --print-statistics B:/Users/%username%
[email protected]::/mnt/hda1/rdiffbackup.repositorys/%username%@%computername%
Win 7 PC (A) backup is under 1 gb and works each day. Takes about a
minute.
Win 7 PC (B) backup is under 2 gb and works each day. Takes about two
minutes.
Win 7 PC (C) backup is 45 gb and takes more than 12 hours to complete.
I ran the backup last night at 6pm and it was still running this
morning at 11am. I cancelled the backup, and ended up with a corrupted
backup.
Is this to do with SSH slowing down the process ?
I hope to find a solution to this problem, as another system I'd like
to use rdiff-backup on has over 250gb of data to check.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Remus.
