I do apologize. The backuppc server is Ubuntu 9.10 and the server being backed up is Centos 5.4. I have changed everything back to rsync and tried a manual full backup (since that is what it was attempting to do when it failed) I ran strace on the PID of rsync on the remote server being backed up. The last few lines of the output are below.

Backuppc shows the following error when it fails:

2009-12-02 14:17:58 full backup started for directory /; updating partial #4
2009-12-02 14:24:59 Aborting backup up after signal PIPE
2009-12-02 14:25:00 Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by signal=PIPE)


remote machine: rsync  version 3.0.6  protocol version 30
backuppc: rsync  version 3.0.6  protocol version 30

Both using ext3 filesystem

It might help if you mentioned the OS involved.  Cygwin/windows should
be the only thing with low size limits and I think that might be version
specific.
