Hi, Luca:
Show us exactly what you did (the exact command line).
Show us the free space of your 'cwd' and your temporary directory.
Show us the size of the partition you are trying to backup.
Perhaps you could run 'watch -d df' on another console and see
what directory is getting 'Out of memory' or
your could run 'free -s 9' on another console to see if you
are running out of RAM memory.
Hope this helps, Chuck
