Restore problem - 2.1.0: msg#00195

Subject: Restore problem - 2.1.0

Two days ago I got BackupPC up and running more or less flawlessly on
my dual PPro server with 512MB RAM. Yesterday, one of the harddrives
that I was backing up failed, but I didn't worry too much because I
had a full backup. I rebuilt the PC and went straight to the BackupPC
web interface and promptly scheduled all the files to be restored.
Everything looked fine on the PC, all 7 gigs were restored and the
filenames were correct.

A couple hours it was done, I decided that I should probably spot
check the files to make sure they were correct and that is when I ran
into the problem - the files' contents were totally mixed up. Text
files sometimes had Excel files within them, etc. I knew that the
files were properly stored on the server because I had browsed the
backup of the PC before it crashed and the files were fine, so I
decided that I would try to restore a smaller chunk. When I did this,
everything worked fine. All the files restored properly. This leads
me to believe that rsync or BackupPC is choking on the older hardware
and botching the restore.

Has anyone else run into this when restoring their files?

Thanks,
Adam
