Ubuntu server - slow connection, failing backup


Recommended Posts

I've been having trouble with one of our many Ubuntu machines backing up. For awhile it just would fail to release the client and I'd have to go in and restart the rcl service frequently. This became more frequent and now I simply can't run backups. It'll run for about 4 hours and fail, locking the daemon, blocking further backups and the message "reserved for Immediate Backup" is reported when I run retrocpl. I can try again after stopping and starting the rcl service.

 

Is what I'm seeing connection problems of some sort? Any idea what is disrupting the connection?

 

I've turned up the logging which resulted in the following. This machine also have several virtual NICs eth0:0-9 so I bound it to the IP on eth0. Since this problem began I have upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 in hopes something old was in the way. I've tried simply uninstalling the software and reinstalling it, reacquainting it with the Retrospect server.

 
These log entries are from the daemon started with the follwing command /usr/local/dantz/client/retroclient -ip 10.x.x.11 -log 55 -daemon. The file I find them in is /var/log/retroclient.log.

Y'll are probably going to want to know version information.

 

Windows Server 7.7.762 and Linux Client 7.7.100

 

Client status says this after a failure:

$ sudo service rcl status
Server "ClientName":
        Version 7.7.100
        reserved by ServerName for Immediate Backup
        back up ASAP
        currently on
        readonly is off
        exclude is off
        1 connections, 1 authenticated
 

As it fails the server reports (automatic or manual backups don't make a difference):

"Can't reserve backup client ClientName, error -519 (network communication failed).

10/17/2013 2:48:09 AM: Execution incomplete

Total performance: 124.5MB/minute

Total duration: 04:31:33 (02:22:40 idle/loading/preparing)"

 

After failure server says "Can't acess backup client ClientName, error -505 ( backup client reserved)" until I restart the client. (This error I see on other servers also somewhat regularly, but it clears with a service restart.)

 

I've also seen the error -519 on the server with the message "Trouble reading files" and saying it can't reserve the remaining volumes after saying the one it was working on was incomplete.

When I tried to report the above, I received the following error

"Warning: Base directory HTML_PURIFIER_PATHcache/tmp does not exist, please create or change using %Cache.SerializerPath in /home/retrospe/public_html/ips_kernel/HTMLPurifier/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer.php on line 133"
