Issues with Backing-Up
You might see errors in you log indicating that back-ups have failed. Most of the time this is of a configuration change on your client or server and you might not be able to solve this issue. The easiest way to check if your problem can be solved is to logon to the client having trouble to backup. This is for Linux installations but may also work for Windows.
Go to the directory /usr/local/var/urbackup/ and find and rename the following files
backup_client.db --> backup_client.db.org backup_client.db-shm --> backup_client.db-shm.org backup_client.db-wal --> backup_client.db-wal.org
Next, change into the direcotory /usr/local/var/urbackup/data and rename
filelist.ub --> filelist.ub.org
That should solve most of the issues you encounter when a client has back-up errors. Start your backup again and check if you still get errors.
