Hallo RV,
sorry for the delay with my answer caused by a short business trip.
Here my problem in English:
I installed the newest Backuppc-Contrib according to this HowTo:
http://sme.firewall-services.com/spip.php?article44I configured Backuppc according to the wonderful Howto by Holger Reiss:
http://www.holger-reiss.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=46All Backups are stored on an external USB-Disk. For the configuration of the USB-Drive I used the USB-Disk-Mangager which I installed as Contrib:
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=35466.0I use Backuppc only for backing up my SME-Server. I am convinced by the incomplicated restore of single files in the Server-Manager which I tried out with success.
I planed the backups with a full backup every 14 days and daily incremental backups between the full backups. The backups from full until incremental no. 14 are done without problems.
The problem starts with the new full backup:
When the backup-routine comes to full backup again after 15 days the Backuppc software hangs.
The USB-Disk is busy all the time but no backup is in progress. I guess that Backuppc has a problem to delete the old backup-files.
The only possible way to solve the problem was to delete the old backup-files in the /opt/backuppc directory. Then Backuppc starts again with full backup and so on - as nothing has happened - until it comes to the next full backup...
I must add that I use a normal IDE harddrive in an external USB-Harddrive-Case. But all backups and the restores I tested work fine with this configuration - until day 15...
Do you have a solution for this problem?
Thanks a lot in advance
Jörg
