Re: [BackupPC-users] backuppc_dump hangs server

maybe try just backing up a few Gigs or so instead of everything you are trying now. see if the whole process completes correctly. then gradually increase size of backups...it seems you must be over-extending something on the system if you bring the whole machine down. Or you have a hardware problem that just has a low enough probability that you only see it under heavy loading over a long time. Could be disk/controller issue instead of CPU overheat as was suggested earlier. Keep an eye on all the file systems as things are running - maybe a tmp or var directory is filling the filesystem?
good luck - hardware problems are, uh, hard. But I agree with rest of discussion that it is less likely to be a specific backuppc bug/config problem if the whole machine is dying. BTW i am not a developer just a user so really the above is about the limit of my suggestins :)

Well, I tried to renice the process while a backup was in process, but no go.
It hung again, this time after about 25 minutes of running backuppc_dump.
Any other ideas? Thanks
