Hi guys,


from time to time I have a strange behaviour. Usually my BackupPC 3.x
(latest) does full backups on weekends and incr during weekdays. And
usually they are done within 10 or 20 minutes (except huge file changes
of course).

But from time to time it takes days as it seems to transfer every file.
No matter if it has changed or not. During an incr. rsyncbackupc.

This is what I see in logfile from the previous backup:

2017-02-27 20:03:16 removing incr backup 584
2017-02-28 18:54:19 full backup started for directory / (baseline backup #591)
2017-02-28 19:49:48 full backup started for directory /srv/ (baseline backup 
#591)
2017-02-28 21:27:36 full backup 592 complete, 475953 files, 536626090243 bytes, 
1 xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 1 other)
2017-02-28 21:27:36 removing full backup 527

2017-03-01 18:03:32 incr backup started back to 2017-02-28 18:50:08 (backup 
#592) for directory /
2017-03-01 18:34:34 incr backup started back to 2017-02-28 18:50:08 (backup 
#592) for directory /srv
2017-03-06 09:14:13 Aborting backup up after signal INT
2017-03-06 09:14:14 Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by user (signal=INT))
# Here I aborted the backup as it caused slow traffic...

2017-03-06 17:05:24 incr backup started back to 2017-02-28 18:50:08 (backup 
#592) for directory /
2017-03-06 17:22:21 incr backup started back to 2017-02-28 18:50:08 (backup 
#592) for directory /boot
2017-03-06 17:23:49 incr backup started back to 2017-02-28 18:50:08 (backup 
#592) for directory /home
2017-03-06 17:35:24 incr backup started back to 2017-02-28 18:50:08 (backup 
#592) for directory /srv

Since then it is running. Using a "lsof| grep rsync" on the target server shows 
open files beeing backed up which have not changed for ages!

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks!

Christian
