intermittent backup issues. I know that's not a ton of info, but any thoughts? I don't want my preconceived notions of what's important to get in the way.
Without more information about the nature of the backup problems I can only speculate. Perhaps the port maintenance assembly buffer has overloaded? That can be confirmed by checking whether or not the assembly buffer's field coils are resonating in sync with the exterior plating. If they're not that certainly could cause intermittent backup problems, if not a complete system failure.
yeah, no problems other than backups. These are application backups on CentOS writing to the same filesystem as the OS. I've got tons of logs, over the course of the month+ where these issues have happened. I could easily say more, but again, don't want to bias the inquiry at this point.
Yeah, you're saying too little. I can't help at all, sorry. That was the point I was trying to get across earlier but even the follow-up reply still has not provided any additional clues. It's all "So... there's this problem... but I won't provide any actual information about it to enable actual help other than 'a problem exists'..." As a result I give up.
Well, it's not a network issue. The OS was given. The whole point is I am looking for an additional area of inquiry. You haven't asked any questions I can answer.
It's slightly more complicated than this, but this is the ultimate bash script that run the backup.
