A few days ago, I started getting these errors once for each backup of

OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int
I'm seeing the same. It looks like rdiff-backup has problems with large files.
I had a 3.2 GB file lying around on which it choked. After deleting it
everything went as normal again.
did you try rdiff-backup with python2.3 ? It solves all the issues I had
here.
Yes, python2.2's gzip code couldn't handle files over 2gB, so
rdiff-backup would crash when writing/reading a gzipped increment of
that size.
UpdateError ingwa/.xsession-errors librsync error 100 while in
patch cycle
Hopefully these errors are caused by a file changing while
rdiff-backup is trying to read it.
