I have a fairly old computer, a ~6yr old dual 3.4GHz Pentium 4 that is
running Fedora 12. It's (past) time for an upgrade. I'm want to do a
clean install as the requirements for boot partition size have
increased and so I need a good complete backup before I start.
The problem I'm having is that whenever I try to do a full backup, the
computer locks up. There are no messages in any of the logs to indicate
what might have caused the problem. Interestingly, incremental backups
work OK. Here's some output from the BackupPc log.

You can see that the full backup was initiated at 1am. At 9am the
computer was completely locked - screen on, ie screensaver had not
kicked in, no mouse or keyboard response so I rebooted and forced an
incremental. I thought it may be a problem with the HD but I forced an
e2fsck on boot and no change.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
PS. I'm using tar as the backup method and full backups used to work.
