21:24.05j0nrhey can anyone help. I am trying to rsync about 5Gb of data from remote server to a machine at home. Its an old laptop running ubuntu server edition. It runs fine, but when i try and do this rsync command, it seems to go for about 2 or 3 mins then freezes the laptop up. only option is to pull the plug. Not sure how to find whats going wrong. this happens whether i am pulling or pushing.

21:36.42j0nrok
21:36.44nqbwj0nr: Have you run a test on the HDD in that laptop?
21:37.42j0nrnqbw: well, no. the drive i am trying to rsync to is a mount USB external drive if that matters
21:38.23j0nri have copied data locally to it no problem...but the rsync seems to lock the laptop up
21:38.34nqbwj0nr: Anything in the logs preceeding the crashes?
21:39.15j0nrwhich logs should I look at... I tried looking thru some but couldnt find anything i could recognise
21:40.11nqbw/var/log/messages perhaps
21:43.29nqbwPerhaps /var/log/syslog, maybe?

22:07.47jpdsj0nr: rsync -aPh any use?
22:10.42jpdsj0nr: Is this several small files?
22:44.40j0nrits a back up of my web server
22:45.29j0nrdont think its my options thats the problem
22:45.46j0nri just ran top whilst rsyncing and nothing seemed to be maxing out whenit crashed
22:46.29j0nrjust crashes whenever i do anything rsync related
22:47.01j0nrany alternatives to rsync?
22:47.42nqbwscp?
22:47.53jpdsj0nr: lmirror if you're adventurous.
22:51.14j0nri need something that will mirror, so that each week when i backup, it just backs up new/changed data. i.e. just like rsync
22:51.34j0nroh this is bollocks. rsync should work
22:51.59jpdsj0nr: https://launchpad.net/lmirror
22:52.09nqbwj0nr: There's gotta be something wrong with the laptop: NIC or IDE chipset, maybe
22:52.22j0nrnqbw: i agree
22:52.26j0nrhow would i find out?
22:54.19nqbwgood question
22:55.04j0nrif rsync crashes, would rdiff likey too?
22:55.08nqbwTry a USB NIC adaptor, perhaps.
22:56.57boudiccasj0nr, try rsnapshot
22:58.06j0nrjust trying rdiff-backup
22:58.26j0nrhave a USB NIC adaptor handy.... will try that too... and rsnapshot.
