I don't concur.  I have found that rebooting a Linux server to fix a
problem is usually entertained by those less experienced with Linux
distro administration.

Anyway, that PIPE error you've been seeing with BackupPC will most
likely rear it's head again: when, I can't say.  But, it's almost always
caused by the timeout setting in your main config.pl file being too low.
Change $Conf{ClientTimeout} to a higher value to, say, 72000 (20 hours).

Check out BackupPC's mailing list.  There are many posts there from
people who have experienced the same problem.
