Backup Central

Hello,

I upgraded to 1.1.3 yesterday on my Ubuntu systems and my nightly backup got
this error:

Exception '('home', 'blair', 'Code')' raised of class 'exceptions.KeyError':

I haven't received any errors like this with 1.1.2.

Thinking that this exception may have something to do with the upgrading of
1.1.2 to 1.1.3, yesterday, I completely erased my previous rdiff-backup backup
and did a single dump of 8 Gbytes of data using 1.1.3. This completed
successfully. However, the next run of rdiff-backup generated the same exception.

I also got the same exception on another system, so I'm probably going to be
backing down to 1.1.2 for the time being.

Hi,

I am also seeing this sort of KeyError exception on 1.1.3 (actually

I have also gotten this error on Library/, but not when backing up
Library/ by itself, only when it is part of a larger directory being
backed up. The command line I have used is (to backup the folder
/Users/owsla/ to another computer):
