Hi Chris,

I suspect youre problem is the out of memory error - so I'd start there - are 
there many or large files on this server that makes it harder to backup (in 
terms of memory needs) than others ? It sounds like your BackupPC machine may 
need more RAM in it to me.

Also, I had a lot of these child exiting errors when our storage device was 
failing, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Error : Child Process Terminated immaturarily


Lately I am having problems with backing up a particular server. We increased 
the swap space on unix solaris box and the backup was performed with following 
error:

2010-03-31 05:22:37 ccdev10: Out of memory during "large" request for 16781312 
bytes, total sbrk() is 468277248 bytes at 
/usr/local/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/FileZIO.pm line 215.
2010-03-31 05:22:44 Backup failed on ccdev10 (Child exited prematurely)
2010-03-31 05:22:44 Running BackupPC_link ccdev10 (pid=43911)
2010-03-31 05:22:46 Finished ccdev10 (BackupPC_link ccdev10)

I am not sure how to address this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated. 

Thanks in advance 

Chris
