I've been backing up my house with backuppc a very long time and never 
had any problems.  I was using the rsyncd method, but a couple months 
ago it dawned on me that I wasn't getting all the files because of 
permissions so I switched to the ssh/tar method and it continued to work 
just fine.

However, over the last little while things have stopped working.  I have 
three 'hosts' that go overnight and not one of them works.  With the 
ssh/tar method I get 'unexpected end of tar file' and with the ssh/rsync 
(as opposed to rsyncd) method I get 'Got fatal error error during xfer 
(aborted by signal=PIPE)'

It almost seems to me like ssh is dying.  To make matters worse, 
sometimes it takes my entire system down with it and spontaneously 
reboots.  I do notice ssh using up almost 80% cpu while the backup is 
going but otherwise I don't see anything abnormal, other then the system 
going away...

I've done the following two things in the last month:
1) increased my RAM from 1G to 3G
2) upgraded from ubuntu 7.10 to ubuntu 8.10

I just tried upgrading backuppc from whatever version I have to the 
newest one, and it's still doing the same thing.  Please help??!?

Thanks.
