just skips them ?!?! thats not good. i'm going to have to take care of that.

the windows machine has 3GB of RAM. i'm guessing thats enough.

i also read a different post on a problem with backuppc crashing when
continuing from a partial backup (but of course i can't find the post
now). the full backup in my situation IS ALSO trying to continue from
a partial backup. what do i have to do to make backuppc start the full
backup from scratch instead from a partial??? i want to try this.

not a firewall issue. but i do also have concern about my network.
this is why i am going to rearrange the backuppc server so that it
downloads the data from the windows file server directly onto a local
hard drive on the backuppc server (instead of moving it to the NAS).
i'm hoping this will make a difference. how can i get more verbose
logging from rsync on the windows server??
thank you both for your help.
