Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Exception '[Errno 28] No space left on device'

[Stephen Butler]

Thanks Bob,

That sounds like a good lead, The server is running tinycore and /tmp is in memory.

I've created following folder on server /mnt/hda1/tmp

I've set it to 777

new rdiff-backup command is

rdiff-backup --tempdir /mnt/hda1/tmp --ssh-no-compression --force -v3 --print-statistics B:/Users/%username% address@hidden::/mnt/hda1/rdiffbackup.repositorys/address@hidden

However same error is encountered.

Does rdiff-backup assume that --tempdir /mnt/hda1/tmp is on local win machine or does it know to check for the remote server ?

I also tried --tempdir address@hidden::/mnt/hda1/tmp  But this also fails.

Perhaps I'm making a simple syntax error when invoking --tempdir ?
