Backup is failing

[dirkson]

THERE we go! That's done it! Reading that little mysql site, I managed to track the issue down- My mysql timeout was set to 30 seconds, rather than the more usual 8 hours. A little bump up to 10 minutes seems to have done the trick, and now ispcp is backing up nicely. I'm going to bet the original poster also had this problem- Gzip is faster at zipping than bzip2, and therefore finished under his timeout restriction. Awesome! Thanks for your help!
