I am running backuppc version 3.3.1 on an Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS, I try to backup several Linux servers, almost Debian, ubuntu or proxmox hosts.
My issue is that when I run the Full/Incermental backup from webUI I got the message:
2018-08-06 14:22:32 full backup started for directory /var/lib/vz/dump/dump (baseline backup #1) 2018-08-06 14:22:33 Aborting backup up after signal PIPE 2018-08-06 14:22:34 Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by signal=PIPE) <
My backup drive is a nfs drive which is mounted as /mnt/backuppc and topdir for backuppc is /mnt/backuppc/backuppc I am able to write into it with user backuppc and/or root.
I went through several documentations and here are what I have done for debugging.
ssh -l root domain whoami root
su su -s /bin/bash backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f HOST
gives me this output
backuppc@backup3:/home/user$ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f HOST cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 HOST cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING HOST (149.202.75.195) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from ns3013409.ip-149-202-75.eu (149.202.75.195): icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=23.6 ms

When I run the rsync command manually, the backup is started correctly:
rsync -av -e ssh root@HOST:/var/lib/vz/dump/dump /mnt/backuppc/backuppc/pc/pHOST/2<
Here below my HOST.pl file: $Conf{RsyncShareName} = [ '/etc', '/var/lib/vz/dump/dump' ]; $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -o ServerAliveInterval=300 -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+'; $Conf{RsyncArgs} = [ '--protocol=29', '--numeric-ids', '--perms', '--owner', '--group', '-D', '--links', '--hard-links', '--times', '--block-size=2048' ]; $Conf{ClientTimeout} = 72000; $Conf{PingMaxMsec} = 50; $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync'; $Conf{RsyncClientPath} = '/usr/bin/rsync';
I don't understand why it could log into the hosts to backup correctly and aborting immediatly after the backup start.
Can someone help me find a way out of this issue as I think I have done all the google search that could be done on this error message. Thanks a lot.
ps: Apologies for the formatting of this post, this is my first thread here and not yet familar with the syntax.
