Topic: Affa Backup Error

[trystnw]

I am having the following error when i run affa backup. I have added a brand new 500 GB IDE disk as the affabackup device. This drive has one partition (hdd1). which is automounted to /mnt/affadevice by the affa config file.
Affa however is failing with the following error


thu_Mar_13_22:30:05[6383]:_Running_rsync...
Exec_Out:_io_timeout_after_3578_seconds_--_exiting
Exec_Out:_rsync_error:_timeout_in_data_send/receive_(code_30)_at_io.c(165)_[sender=2.6.9]
Exec_Out:_exitstatus=30

What could be the issue ? Why is it timing out ?


Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Moving this topic to the SME Server 7.x forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks!

trystnw,

this is not an Affa issue.  Rsync tiimes out because the datastream stalled, so I guess you have hardware problem.
Try running rsync with increased verbosity from the console and see what happens.
You can copy&paste the rsync command from the Affa log and add the -vv option. (Affa must run with "Debug=yes" to get the rsync command logged)
