All,

I've recently begun to BackupPC on my network, but I've run into an 
error on one of the machines.  About 5 minutes into the backup process 
the box in question errors out with the following according to the 
BackupPC error log:

full backup started for directory /
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l backuppc sinope /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/rsync 
--server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links 
--times --block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system --ignore-times . /
Xfer PIDs are now 26423
Got remote protocol 30
Negotiated protocol version 28
Sent exclude: /media
Sent exclude: /mnt
Sent exclude: /proc
Sent exclude: /sys
Read EOF: 
Tried again: got 0 bytes
fileListReceive() failed
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)
Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)
Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one 
(got 0 and 0 files versus 0)

Here is the config for that machine:

$Conf{XferMethod}="rsync";
$Conf{RsyncClientPath}="/usr/bin/rsync";
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd}='$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host /usr/bin/sudo 
$rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath 
$argList+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/', '/u01';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/media', '/mnt', '/proc', '/sys'];


Both machines have the same version of rsync(rsync-3.0.3-1.el4.rf) and 
it's only about 100GB of data.  There are machines with more that backup 
without an issue.  I can ssh to the client machine as the backup user 
from the server side without any problems.  I've seen some posts that 
indicate this is a result of not enough ram on the box for rsync to make 
a list of every file however the machine has almost 1GB of RAM cached so 
I don't think that would be the problem.

Any ideas?
