Re: [BackupPC-users] Tar exited with error 36096

I think you've eliminated the remote and local filesystems and said you have no problem backing up via smb or backing up local files.

I find it interesting that the client file path is being cut off ~= 100 characters.

echo /fhome/fmike/fwerk/fsystem/fTransformer/fandroid-sdk-linux/fadd-ons/faddon-google_tv_addon-google_inc_-12/fi | sed -e 's/\/f/\//g' | wc
1 1 100

Some old versions of gnu tar had 100-character filename limits. How old is the version of tar on the problematic client?

Hi, since some time I cannot make full backups anymore of one of my PC's using tar over ssh. Could not find any reference on the mailing lists to this type of error.

I'm running BackupPC 3.1.0 on a debian system. This error appeared after a long time of stable performance. Backing up another PC through smb does not generate errors, nor does the backup of localhost.
Could anyone help me getting out?
Thx
