Recently leaped from RH8 to Fedora5 and my working rdiff-backups no longer work. I am running from the fedora5 rpm 1.0.4
Here is a sample command:
rdiff-backup --exclude /sys --exclude /data/xpbackup /data/ [EMAIL
PROTECTED]::/backup1/data_rdiff
yields the following errors:
Fatal Error: Fatal Error: The file specification
'/sys'
cannot match any files in the base directory
'/data'
Useful file specifications begin with the base directory or some
pattern (such as '**') which matches the base directory.
Changing to /data instead of /data/ makes no difference.
--exclude-globbing-filelist myexcludelist with the directories listed in
myexcludelist also yields the same exact error messages?
The destination server is still running RH 8 and the the version of
rdiff-backup there is: 1.0.4 (the same)
Any insights would be greatly appreciated as I am flying without a net without
rdiff-backup running correctly.
Pete
