Backup Central

Hi,


I did setup a backup system like here, but then the other way around,
backup my desktop to the server.

http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_rdiff_backup

I have two scripts on my server. The first one seems to run fine, the
second not atm (till a week ago it went well, I didn't change a thing on
a the server side)

if [ -z "$(/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --test-server server1_backup::/ignored
| grep 'Server OK')" ] ; then
echo "The machine you want to backup, is not available via the
network, please fix this. Aborting backup now." 1>&2
else
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --include /home/derick/documenten --exclude
'**' server1_backup::/ /home/backup/docs_backup


fi





#!/bin/bash

LOCKFILE='/tmp/rdiff-backup.lock'

if [ -f $LOCKFILE ] ; then
echo 'Rdiff-backup is already running' 1>&2
#mail -s "Rdiff-backup is already running, backup aborted"
rosea.grammostola < at > gmail.com
#ssmtp rosea.grammostola < at > gmail.com < /backup/mailmessage.txt
exit 1
else
if [ -z "$(/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --test-server
server1_backup::/ignored | grep 'Server OK')" ] ; then
echo "The machine you want to backup, is not available via the
network, please fix this. Aborting backup now." 1>&2
else
touch $LOCKFILE
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --exclude /home/derick/Downloads --exclude \
/home/derick/mount --exclude /home/derick/voetbalx
--exclude /home/derick/linux_dev/debpackagebuild --exclude
/home/derick/openstudiopro/opensusebuildservice --include \
/home --include /etc --exclude '**' server1_backup::/
/home/backup/backup_laptop
rm -f $LOCKFILE
fi
fi


I have version 2.8-6 on both sides. On the server I installed the
version of Debian testing on Lenny (Stable), which is on the server. I
do run Debian testing on my desktop.

See the messages below.

Thanks in advance,

~D

Andrew is the current maintainer of rdiff-backup so his word is law!

What version of rdiff-backup are you using? 2.8-6 is not a valid version number, the current stable version is 1.2.8. Check with:
rdiff-backup -V

It's not exactly clear which file I have to remove and how.

I'm having what seems like exactly the same problem. Any ideas how to
fix this yet?

For me, it's still complaining about this gzip file which appears not to exist.

Did you manage to get past this without totally removing your backup
and starting over?

I changed the destination folders name in the script, so I started a new
backup without removing the older ones.
