This one reminds me of when either a) the filesystem's full, or b) trying to back up something that shouldn't be backed up, like /dev/<anything>...
or maybe the tarfile it's creating, itself. You might try running it manually, and see what happens.

This clearly has to do with some software that I'm not familiar with, or you've got a mirror site, and there's some issue with the mirror.

Afternoon Mark,
On #1. Could any of those things (filesystem file, etc.) cause the system not to boot back up when it goes down for backups?
Forgive my ignorance - is there a system-wide command for running it manually? 
I did not setup the backups and am not sure how to do that.

Thank you,
Constance
