Backup Central

Hi guys,

We're using rdiff-backup to backup a pile of home folders from one OS X server to another. It runs daily and has worked fine for a few weeks, but now we're getting an error.

It's quite long so I won't paste it, but you can see it here:
http://pastebin.com/GasS28Vd

I briefly thought it might be an extended attribute problem but I tried it again with --no-eas and got the same error. (And on the same folder as well.)

Any help decoding this error would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi

1: I am no expert on rdiff-backup but have used it for years and it has
been brilliant.

2: I have had trouble with ACLs and as I see you have problems with ACLs
I have found the use of --no-acls to fix most problems.

eg
rdiff-backup --no-acls $STUMPYSIGMALIVE $DESTDIR2/$TARGET/

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Regards

Peter Howell

Hi,

For the sake of searchability (history), it's better to paste the output
in your mail, so that it gets saved to list archives properly.

When looking at lines 19 and 20:
# File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rdiff_backup/increment.py", line 123, in get_inc
# assert not incrp.lstat(), incrp

It seems like there is an expected file (or directory) missing in your
filesystem. Not entirely sure whether this is remote or local, I'm not
that good with Python.

Things you might want to try:
- do filesystem checks on both source and destination drives
- run rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir <dir> on the destination since
it probably needs to be regressed
- run rdiff-backup --verify <dir>
and rdiff-backup --verify-at-time 1B <dir>
on the destination (locally on that machine!) to see it something has
failed.

Or, maybe you just ran out of disk space?


HTH,
Maarten
