Hi All,
I have been landed with the task of backing up a directory tree of about 1G and
have struck a problem with crashing rdiff-backup.
It could be related to the size of the directory tree as 178MB was backed up
out of 1000MB. Looks like I might have to learn Python
If this is relevant, I am using cstream to restrict the bandwidth usage.
rdiff-backup --test-server works correctly.
Network details and software versions.
Machine being backed up
OS: FreeBSD 4.10
Python: 2.4
librsync: 0.9.6
rsync: 2.6.3
Rdiff-backup: 0.12.7
Backup Server
OS: FreeBSD 5.3
Python: 2.4
librsync: 0.9.6
rsync: 2.6.3
Rdiff-backup: 0.12.7
Backup user's umask: 22
I also tried it without the throttling with cstream to no avail, had the same
crash after 200 odd MB.
Thanks
George Patterson
Find below the command used and the output given by the error. (I sanitised the
server address)
%rdiff-backup --remote-schema 'cstream -t 10k | ssh %s '\''sudo rdiff-backup
--server'\'' | cstream -t 100k' \
