Dear all,
I would like to start rdiff-backup on my small debian/Mac OS X
network (until now I used plain rsync). I installed rdiff-backup
version 1.1.5 on both systems and there seems to be no problem (on
debian via apt-get and on OS X Tiger via darwinports). From my OS X
machine I can issue a command like
rdiff-backup me < at > powerbook::/Users/me /home/me/Backup/me
without any problems. But I would like to use it as a cron job on the
debian-server. Rsync worked just fine with a batch file like
unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add /home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe
/usr/bin/rsync -avz me < at > powerbook:/Users/me /home/me/Backup
but the seemingly equivalent batch file
unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add /home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe
rdiff-backup flx < at > pb::/Users/me /home/me/Backup/me
gives me the following error message:
Agent pid 8100
Identity added: /home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe (/home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ?
rdiff_backup.Main.error_check_Main(sys.argv[1:])
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'error_check_Main'
Fatal Error: Truncated header string (problem probably originated
remotely)
Couldn't start up the remote connection by executing
ssh -C me < at > powerbook rdiff-backup --server
Remember that, under the default settings, rdiff-backup must be
installed in the PATH on the remote system. See the man page for more
information on this. This message may also be displayed if the remote
version of rdiff-backup is quite different from the local version
(1.1.5).
Issuing
ssh -C me < at > powerbook rdiff-backup --server
results in the same error message.
Did anybody experience the same error message?
Felix
