Greetings folks. I've recently moved over to .13.4 from .12.6, and it
seems to be going just fine. Well, until this morning when I got the
following error:
cPickle.UnpicklingError: invalid load key, 'H'.
Pickling is Python's way of serializing objects. rdiff-backup uses it
to send objects from one side of the connection to the other. Perhaps
one of the pickles was damaged in transport?
Also I have had another one that doesn't seem to matter a huge amount,
but it's an error that greets me every morning regardless.
Warning: ownership cannot be changed on filesystem at backups/arcterex.net/rdiff-backup-data
Warning: ownership cannot be changed on filesystem at backups/arcterex.net/rdiff-backup-data
This error comes from backing up (as root) from my local webserver to
remote server (as non-root).
This is normal---since you aren't root on the destination, you can't
change the ownership. Ownership should still be preserved though, in
the metadata file.
The backups *seem* to be ok, they verify ok, though that same error pops
up, and the gallery and gallery/setup directory with the odd permissions
doesn't seem to exist in the rdiff-backup-data dir.
There was a problem with some odd-permission directories, though, that
was fixed in 0.12.7 or in CVS (fix will be included in 0.13.5).
