Having a backup program raising unhandled exceptions is quite
disturbing. Please consider properly handling this case.
The output you pasted seems to indicate rdiff-backup was handling the
exceptions. That "UpdateError" message comes from rdiff-backup. In
general if there is a unhandled exception in python the program exits
immediately.
A user not familiar with python might be disturbed by the output the
exception handler gives. I'd rather see that output hidden and
replaced by an application dependent error message or warning.
But that's a detail.
Greetings
Marc
