Backup Running for 70 hours?

[thomamon]

It seems as if there is a problem with backing up,

Pkgacct - backupto av: 3 - has been running for over 70 hours now.

I no longer receive e-mails telling me my backups are complete either.

How large is the account?

Are you backing up to a local disk or NFS?

If you are doing compressed backups over an internet NFS mount they can take awhile.

You may try going uncompressed, that generally helps a lot. you may not get emails saying they are done because they may not finish that often.

It was a local disk, but I found the error I believe if anyone else has the same problem. This link has helped a ton:

It is happening again. The server CPU Load was very low after doing what I post above. This morning, its up again, the backup from last night is still running.

Backup never finished last night, CPU Load is getting higher and pkgacct is still going.

I have did the above again, and the CPU usage is normal again. That will be until the backup process runs again.
