Thanks for the reply Raphael!
Here's what's weird: I don't get this error message all the time for incremental backups, but now its starting to happen more and more often for the same hosts that had this problem before. But sometimes incremental backups will work (very rare though).
Also, the incremental backups are getting stuck in /home directory because it first starts to backup the /etc directory and that directory is backed up just fine.
Here's the last error message that I get when the incremental backup is aborted:
Child is aborting
Done: 352 files, 39589242 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by signal=PIPE)
Backup aborted by user signal
Any ideas on this?
Thanks in advance!

I would check the command used for
incremental backups. Does it differ from the one for full backups? It looks
like the utility (tara, rsync, smbclient?) is
crashing in the middle of the backup operation.

Hi guys,
I've been using BackupPC for a while and I think that I may have encountered
this error message before but I can't really remember what I did to fix it.
Full backups are working just fine, but I'm getting backup failed (aborted by signal=PIPE) during incremental
backups for certain hosts. I tried doing a google search on this error message
and it seems like a lot of people have encountered this before, however I could
not find any solutions on how to fix this.
Does anyone knows what's causing this problem and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
