Hi Carl,
This machine is remotely located from all other machines to provide
diversity of location in case of fire., etc...
It is in my workshop and backs up my system at night (01:00AM --
6:00AM). It also serves as the workstation for this location and dual
boots (Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP). Occasionally, I will fail to
reboot Linux when leaving for the day.
Before this problem started, it was backing up with no problem. Then I
started getting errors:

As I said in the opening post, I have had problems with two other machines
failing.
Both had been in service for about ten years, so they gave good service.
A workstation failed in October (dual-boot Linux & Windows XP). The
motherboard
failed and the hardware replaced with new. I set it up dual boot Linux and
Windows 7.
It is a 64 bit machine. This was placed on the system as a new client on 22
OCT.
On this machine /home is all that is backed up using rsync.

On 31 Dec, I had a file server fail. Again, it was a hardware failure
requiring
replacement of the platform. I set up a similar machine with essentially the
same
configuration as the original. It was returned to the system as the same share
name
as the failed platform carrying the the same share volumes as the original.
Only the
shares are backed using rsync.
The file server was place back into service, fixed a problem with my keys, and
all
appears to be working fine.
