My company runs BackupPC on an Ubuntu machine. Everything typically run without 
any problems until the other day when, out the blue, an archive started 
failing. (I run it manually twice a month). I've tried to run it twice and it's 
failed each time with the same error. (Will paste below) I'm using the same 
backup drive that I've been using, so the permissions haven't change. The 
archive runs part way, before failing, so I can see two backup files show up on 
the drive, but not the other 4. Individually, the all 6 machines are backing up 
as usual, except a 20000 millisecond timeout issue that happens periodically. 
(An issue I recently discovered but don't believe is related to my current 
problem). 
Here's the error that I get:
Archive failed (Error: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate, compress or 
split failed)

I've checked both the archive log and backupPC's log via the web interface and 
they both list the same error. 

What could be going wrong? 

Thanks.
