For some strange reason backuppc seems to be failing nightly with the error message below.  Best I can tell this is at the end of the /home directory.  I am not sure exactly what the issue is so I am hoping that someone can help me home into the exact issue. This is the only errors that I am seeing.  Any help is much appreciated.



tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 86 filesExist, 135056137 sizeExist, 1318103 sizeExistComp, 715 filesTotal, 250893372 sizeTotal

Got fatal error during xfer (Tar exited with error 512 () status)

Backup aborted (Tar exited with error 512 () status)

Saving this as a partial backup, replacing the prior one (got 8100 and 1113 files versus 0)
Is this a localhost backup?  And if so, have you set it up to use sudo
or are you using ssh?

Localhost that is set up to use sudo.  The backup runs through /var and /home as best I can tell, or it is failing at the very end of /home, not sure.
