We have a nightly rsync operation which syncronises user files onto a backup server so in the event of a hardware failure it can take over. It is also handy for people to easily get to a previous copy of their work.
This wee the backup stopped working. There were no packages updated and I have rebooted the backup server.
I have also changed the rsync so that instead of syncing the entire 120GB in one go it syncronises the 6 subdirectories one after the other.
However on 4 of the directories I am still getting an error :-
[root@file2 bin]# rsync -vv -a --delete -e ssh /shares/disk1/Accounts/* file2backup:/shares/disk1/
Accounts/
opening connection using ssh file2backup rsync --server -vvlogDtpr --delete . /shares/disk1/Accounts/

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (8 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)
If I delete the files on the destination server it does work but this is impractical because it would take too long to copy across the files afterwards.
Any ideas?
