Workaround: you can either ignore the failures via the --ignore-failed-read option to tar, or grant superuser privileges to backuppc and do the backup via sudo as described in comment #15. ---- Binary package hint: backuppc ntents of file /var/lib/backuppc/log/LOG, modified 2009-12-17 06:00:16 2009-12-17 01:00:00 Running 2 BackupPC_nightly jobs from 0..15 (out of 0..15) 2009-12-17 01:00:00 Running BackupPC_nightly -m 0 127 (pid=24875) 2009-12-17 01:00:00 Running BackupPC_nightly 128 255 (pid=24876) 2009-12-17 01:00:00 Next wakeup is 2009-12-17 02:00:00 2009-12-17 01:00:01 Started full backup on localhost (pid=24877, share=/etc) 2009-12-17 01:00:19 Finished admin1 (BackupPC_nightly 128 255) 2009-12-17 01:00:22 BackupPC_nightly now running BackupPC_sendEmail 2009-12-17 01:00:23 Finished admin (BackupPC_nightly -m 0 127) 2009-12-17 01:00:23 Pool nightly clean removed 0 files of size 0.00GB 2009-12-17 01:00:23 Pool is 0.00GB, 0 files (0 repeated, 0 max chain, 0 max links), 1 directories 2009-12-17 01:00:23 Cpool nightly clean removed 3 files of size 0.00GB 2009-12-17 01:00:23 Cpool is 0.01GB, 2914 files (0 repeated, 0 max chain, 24 max links), 2373 directories 2009-12-17 01:00:36 Backup failed on localhost (Tar exited with error 512 () status) 2009-12-17 01:00:36 Running BackupPC_link localhost (pid=24893) 2009-12-17 01:00:36 Finished localhost (BackupPC_link localhost) 2009-12-17 02:00:01 Next wakeup is 2009-12-17 03:00:00 2009-12-17 02:00:01 Started full backup on localhost (pid=24927, share=/etc) 2009-12-17 02:00:16 Backup failed on localhost (Tar exited with error 512 () status) 2009-12-17 02:00:16 Running BackupPC_link localhost (pid=24934) 2009-12-17 02:00:16 Finished localhost (BackupPC_link localhost) 2009-12-17 03:00:00 Next wakeup is 2009-12-17 04:00:00 2009-12-17 03:00:00 Started full backup on localhost (pid=24968, share=/etc) 2009-12-17 03:00:15 Backup failed on localhost (Tar exited with error 512 () status) 2009-12-17 03:00:15 Running BackupPC_link localhost (pid=24984) 2009-12-17 03:00:16 Finished localhost (BackupPC_link localhost) 2009-12-17 04:00:00 Next wakeup is 2009-12-17 05:00:00 2009-12-17 04:00:00 Started full backup on localhost (pid=25024, share=/etc) 2009-12-17 04:00:15 Backup failed on localhost (Tar exited with error 512 () status) 2009-12-17 04:00:15 Running BackupPC_link localhost (pid=25031) 2009-12-17 04:00:15 Finished localhost (BackupPC_link localhost) 2009-12-17 05:00:00 Next wakeup is 2009-12-17 06:00:00 2009-12-17 05:00:01 Started full backup on localhost (pid=25067, share=/etc) 2009-12-17 05:00:16 Backup failed on localhost (Tar exited with error 512 () status) 2009-12-17 05:00:16 Running BackupPC_link localhost (pid=25074) 2009-12-17 05:00:16 Finished localhost (BackupPC_link localhost) 2009-12-17 06:00:00 Next wakeup is 2009-12-17 07:00:00 2009-12-17 06:00:01 Started full backup on localhost (pid=25134, share=/etc) 2009-12-17 06:00:16 Backup failed on localhost (Tar exited with error 512 () status) 2009-12-17 06:00:16 Running BackupPC_link localhost (pid=25141) 2009-12-17 06:00:16 Finished localhost (BackupPC_link localhost) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Dec 17 06:57:25 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: backuppc 3.1.0-6ubuntu4 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron:  PATH=(custom, no user)  LANG=en_US.UTF-8  SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-16.52-generic SourcePackage: backuppc Uname: Linux 2.6.31-16-generic x86_64
