Hi Carl,
Reviewing my logs, a full backup of localhost usually takes about one
and a half hours with the maximum being close to 2 hours and this is
when this job is running concurrently with the rsync backups on the
remote machines. It has been approximately two hours now with this job
running exclusively. I have checked on the machine periodically and it
does not look like a tar create is in progress. My terminal session has
given NO errors. I'm going to abort the command to see if it get any
additional information.
I got the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------
exiting after signal ALRM
Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the
prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 0)
dump failed: received signal=ALRM
----------------------------------------------------------------
So, I still in the dark!
