Hi,

I have a big host that is backed up using BackupPC. It has 456.21GB of 
data actually. I want to off-site this data using the archive method to 
removable USB disk. Until recently, that was not a big deal. The archive 
process would take up to 45 hours to complete. Data has grown to the 
point that now the archive is failing at a specific time (process is 
failing at 2866.7 minutes exacly). I have repeated the process and it 
will always fail at that specific time. It could be a timeout issue but 
cannot find any clues in the log file.

Here is my last ArchiveLOG

Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/offsite-backup/ArchiveLOG.54.z,

I am using BackupPC 3.1.0 under Debian Lenny.

Thanks!
