Hi all,

I run s3sync to do a backup from my web server to an AWS S3 bucket. This runs once a week on a cron job and has done so for many many months.

I had to do a reboot on my server (VPS BTW, running 8,04 LTS) and now s3sync no longer works.

The command in my backup script is this:

  ruby s3sync.rb -r -v --ssl --delete /local/dir/ mybucket:somefolder

I get an email after each backup to confirm, and the results were this:

  Connection timed out: execution expired
  99 retries left, sleeping for 30 seconds

and this repeats for a long time...

Just running a simple s3cmd command:

  s3cmd put mybucket:localfile.txt localfile.txt
  Broken pipe: Broken pipe

Any ideas what's wrong?

I emailled my VPS supplier and they said:

"It looks like you're affected by clock issues. Please try running the official Kernel for your operating system as described on our forums at https://forums.openitc.co.uk/index.php/board,5.0.html";

If all fails I might well reinstall my server anyway, as they now have 10,04 LTS images available. But it just seems weird how it was working fine before the reboot.

Cheers.
