Backing Up Data From Remote Server [rSync Probs - HELP!]

Hi!

We have a fully-managed server, by ResellerWorkz, located in Savvis (excellent support btw).

We also have a cheap server that is co-located in another part of the world.

I figured that I'll just let WHM do it's archived backups on the local server (it stores it in /backup) and then, a cronjob on the backup server will pull a copy of /backup from the hosting server via rsync.

It's a simple script.. the only problem is that it worked the first time and now, when I run it, it starts going through the files in the /backup (after I enter the root password for it) and then, after a couple of files:

inflate returned -3 (0 bytes)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol in data stream (code 12) at token.c (416)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (95957 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol in data stream (code 12) at io.c (165)
This is the rsync line that I use (it worked the first time.. not sure what has changed since then):

rsync -arzgopv -e ssh root@123.456.789.10:/backup /mnt/bkup/hda


Thanks for all the help! I need it Backing Up Data From Remote Server [rSync Probs - HELP!]
