Hi, We have problems to backup a large /home directory (+/- 12Go) with rsync (daemon mode) and BackupPC on ADSL static IP 4Mbps/380Kbps for the backed-up machine and Internet 10Mbps for the backup server, the rsync options are: '--numeric-ids', '--perms', '--owner', '--group', '--devices', '--links', '--times', '--block-size=2048', '--recursive', We have not noticed any link failure on ADSL, on the backed-up machine the rsync.log we have: 2006/01/17 17:23:43 [12651] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4096 bytes: phase "unknown" [sender]: Connection timed out (110) 2006/01/17 17:23:43 [12651] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1099) And on our backup server we got this on tcpdump: 18:13:20.208260 IP our.backup.server.com.57877 > the.remote.server.com.rsync: . ack 281801068 win 32768 <nop,nop,timestamp 1130933733 1385607516,nop,nop,sack 3 {281822788:281824236}{281861884:281867804}{281857540:281858988}> 18:13:20.246229 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: . ack 47785 win 0 <nop,nop,timestamp 1385665768 1130352553> 18:13:43.028566 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: . 281801068:281802516(1448) ack 47785 win 0 <nop,nop,timestamp 1385668045 1130352553> 18:15:20.226961 IP our.backup.server.com.57877 > the.remote.server.com.rsync: . ack 281801068 win 32768 <nop,nop,timestamp 1131053771 1385607516,nop,nop,sack 3 {281822788:281824236}{281861884:281867804}{281857540:281858988}> 18:15:20.264772 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: . ack 47785 win 0 <nop,nop,timestamp 1385677767 1130352553> 18:15:43.055755 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: . 281801068:281802516(1448) ack 47785 win 0 <nop,nop,timestamp 1385680045 1130352553> 18:17:20.245954 IP our.backup.server.com.57877 > the.remote.server.com.rsync: . ack 281801068 win 32768 <nop,nop,timestamp 1131173809 1385607516,nop,nop,sack 3 {281822788:281824236}{281861884:281867804}{281857540:281858988}> 18:17:20.283561 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: . ack 47785 win 0 <nop,nop,timestamp 1385689767 1130352553> 18:17:43.082700 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: . 281801068:281802516(1448) ack 47785 win 0 <nop,nop,timestamp 1385692045 1130352553> 18:19:20.264303 IP our.backup.server.com.57877 > the.remote.server.com.rsync: . ack 281801068 win 32768 <nop,nop,timestamp 1131293847 1385607516,nop,nop,sack 3 {281822788:281824236}{281861884:281867804}{281857540:281858988}> 18:19:20.302149 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: . ack 47785 win 0 <nop,nop,timestamp 1385701766 1130352553> 18:19:43.110385 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: . 281801068:281802516(1448) ack 47785 win 0 <nop,nop,timestamp 1385704045 1130352553> 18:21:20.283447 IP our.backup.server.com.57877 > the.remote.server.com.rsync: . ack 281801068 win 32768 <nop,nop,timestamp 1131413885 1385607516,nop,nop,sack 3 {281822788:281824236}{281861884:281867804}{281857540:281858988}> 18:21:20.320952 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: . ack 47785 win 0 <nop,nop,timestamp 1385713765 1130352553> 18:21:43.137332 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: . 281801068:281802516(1448) ack 47785 win 0 <nop,nop,timestamp 1385716045 1130352553> 18:23:20.302265 IP our.backup.server.com.57877 > the.remote.server.com.rsync: . ack 281801068 win 32768 <nop,nop,timestamp 1131533923 1385607516,nop,nop,sack 3 {281822788:281824236}{281861884:281867804}{281857540:281858988}> 18:23:20.339520 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: . ack 47785 win 0 <nop,nop,timestamp 1385725764 1130352553> 18:25:20.320889 IP our.backup.server.com.57877 > the.remote.server.com.rsync: . ack 281801068 win 32768 <nop,nop,timestamp 1131653961 1385607516,nop,nop,sack 3 {281822788:281824236}{281861884:281867804}{281857540:281858988}> 18:25:20.358544 IP the.remote.server.com.rsync > our.backup.server.com.57877: R 1436037516:1436037516(0) win 0 We have no problems with other machine on ADSL but with smaller directories.
