Hello all,
Installed BackupPC version 3.1.0 a few months ago. After creating all users on
the server using one users profile as a template for the rest, I would think
they'd all behave the same. Tested the rsync on all the laptops initially and
had pretty good results.
About a week later my bosses laptop, scheduled for an incremental, began
backing up at 10:00 am and was still running when she shutdown her laptop at
7:00 pm. Obviously the backup failed. The previous days incrementals lasted
only 45 minutes or so. Pretty much all default settings as seen at the Web GUI
config for each user.
>>From that last incremental onward the backups begin and just keep running
>>until the user powers off. This is occurring on at least three laptops now.
It seems like rsync begins very strong as the CPU utilization for that users
process runs up to 25% on the Suse 10 server, then after about 30~45 minutes it
gradually throttles back almost to zero.
I've tried excludes of the pagefile, ntuser.dat, system volume information, etc
with no change. Updated to a newer rsync than what came with
cygwin-rsyncd-2.6.8_0.zip on my bosses laptop...
No SSH, Trusted network, just running on port 873, firewall has the port opened
via the netsh firewall commands by running service.bat from the package
mentioned above.
It almost seems like rsync.exe is stalling on the client laptops. It's process
shows little CPU utilization, naturally, when time runs onward it decreases to
nearly zero.
Here is a copy from the log file of a Full backup that SHOULD take no more than
3 hours, based on previous successful full backups of this laptop:
2009-08-03 06:00:03 no ping response
2009-08-03 12:00:00 full backup started for directory cDrive
2009-08-03 19:00:31 Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely)
2009-08-03 19:00:39 Backup aborted (lost network connection during backup)
2009-08-03 20:00:03 no ping response
At 19:00 hours my boss finally shutdown for the night.
I could REALLY use some help and or pointers to get this back to the peppy
speed it once used to have.
Your thoughts and suggestions?
