Re: [rdiff-backup-users] hardlink-only mode?
roland wrote: hi ! My hope is to create an option in rdiff-backup so that instead of the mirror directory containing duplicates of the original data, the mirror contains *hardlinks* to the original data. i had a similar requirement like your`s - i wanted to have rdiff-backups from a remote system on which i couldn`t install rdiff-backup onto. so, i had to mirror it via rsync first and then make rdiff-backup from that local copy - so earch file existing twice and taking up unnecessary space. I believe dirvish (www.dirvish.org) will do what you want. It only needs rsync on the client machine.

[rdiff-backup-users] UGH! How can I fix No usable temporary directory found ? (env var NOT POSSIBLE)
Same story, different month. rdiff-backup works fine for one or two backups, and then all of a sudden I start getting this error message: IOError: [Errno 2] No usable temporary directory found in ['/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/usr/tmp', '/'] I _do not have_ a /tmp or /var/tmp or /usr/tmp on the remote end. My ssh login is jailed in a chroot, and that chroot does not have a /tmp of any kind. Am I correct that it is complaining about the _remote_ /tmp ? (my local /tmp seems fine, and is not full) . Is it possible for me to tell rdiff-backup to put the temporary files somewhere else ? NO I DO NOT have the ability to set a ENV VAR on the remote side. I can't log in interactively and I am in a jail. I need to tell rdiff-backup _from my end_ to put the temp files in /some/remote/directory. Can anyone help with this ? I have asked this question several times over the last few months and get _nothing_ in response. Is it just impossible to use rdiff-backup with a remote jail with no /tmp ?

I installed rdiff-backup using MacPorts: sudo port install rdiff-backup-devel (1.1.5) sudo port install py-xattr (0.2) Ilari, Good catch! If the user had extended attributes support enabled (as you did), rdiff-backup tried to read/set the extended attributes on the socket. However, sockets don't have extended attributes on Mac OS X or Linux and this attempt generates an error. I have patched this in CVS and the fix will be in the next release of rdiff-backup. If anyone knows of a platform that DOES support extended attributes for sockets, let me know and I'll include a finer-grained test.

I just ran: sudo rdiff-backup Spotlight-V100 Spotlight-V100.backup and it worked perfectly. I think if you run rdiff-backup as root you won't run into any problems. Chris, rdiff-backup will adjust permissions as necessary (eg, adding 100 to Spotlight-V100 during backup), but you have to be the file's owner to do so (or root).

Re: [rdiff-backup-users] remove-older-than broken?
Since this was originally reported on Fink's version, I rolled all commits in CVS HEAD since 1.1.9 into Fink's and MacPorts' rdiff-backup and rdiff-backup-devel packages, respectively.
