Affa - rsync errors

<< < (3/3)

jonash:
Hi,
I suddenly noticed that the rsync command do copy some files, before it stops.
I added the flag --progress to find out what happens during the run.
I just re-ran it a couple of times, and suddenly I got the mail with the subject: Success: 'fs scheduled' completed

There were a lot of new image files on the source file system, so it looks like there is some timing issue; slow USB disk maybe, which causes the error.
The backup will run tonight again, so lets hope for the best.

I had something similar, turned out to be a huge movie MP4 larger than 2 GB, syncing with rsync over NFS mounted ext2 disk.
To the local USBdisk it worked fine though...

jonash:
Hi,
I just want to say that the backup works.. until someone puts up a lot of big files again :)
Thank you Mary for your help!

Try using the standard default backup to USB (in server manager backup or restore panel).
It works fine, so see if it handles those big files any better than affa rsync, or is more tolerant of speed issues.
Select Configure workstation backup (rather than desktop) and then select local removable disk

Apart from that there may be issues with your hardware.
Have you checked that the USB port is fast ie v2 or better & tested it to prove data transfer rate ?
Have you tested your drives, main & USB ?
