This didn't reveal additional information, so I would propose to have a
look at the other end of the backup.

According to the first mail you wrote, you are using the rsyncd transfer
method. So, according to my experience, signal=PIPE errors most of the
time are caused by timeouts. Although the rsyncd has no default I/O
timeout, most default rsyncd.conf files use something along the lines of
600 seconds.

Can you check your /etc/rsyncd for a timeout=... parameter?
If you find one, double the amount, restart rsyncd and retry your backup.

If there is no timeout to be found in rsyncd.conf, it may be specified
on the command line of the rsyncd startup script. A 'ps faxw|grep rsync'
should reveal it.

If this does not help, finding the logs for rsyncd may shed some more
lights on the problem. Because AFAIK there is no standard rsyncd.conf
for Debian/Ubuntu, check your config file for 'log file' and 'syslog
faclities' entries. These define where rsyncd will put the log files.
You can find out more about these entries by issuing "man rsyncd.con".

With kind regards

Stefan Peter
