I also have a freebsd web server being the rsync client. A shell script runs every night at 5am (it's below). Shell script: #!/bin/sh . `dirname $0`/settings.inc destination=**.***.***.***::backup if [ "$TERM" ]; then verbose=-v; fi rsync $verbose -azR --delete-after /usr/local/etc/ $destination rsync $verbose -azR --delete-after /usr/local/lib/sasl2/ $destination rsync $verbose -azR --delete-after /var/cron/ $destination rsync $verbose -azR --delete-after /root/ $destination rsync $verbose -azR --delete-after /etc/ $destination rsync $verbose -azR --delete-after --exclude httpd-*.log $wwwDir/ $destination After it runs for 5 minutes it throws this: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 16385 bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32) rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (54) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(613) [sender=2.6.9] Dmesg on the box only shows this: em0: promiscuous mode enabled em0: promiscuous mode disabled But that is probably pretty old. What can the problem be? backups are really important to me and they don't currently work as the transfer times out after the first few files. Anyone got an idea? Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Peter
