My understanding is that it is just a GUI front end for rdiff-backup, so why does it work and rdiff-backup does not work from the command line? Well, that bash script didn't survive the cut and paste either, so I'm sure exactly what it actually says. If pybackpack does use rdiff-backup under the covers and you can back up files with it, then your rdiff-backup installation would appear to be correct. (You should double check that you only have one copy of rdfiff-backup on the system, in case pybackpack is using a different one from the one you get when you run the command from the command line.) So one suspects the problem is with the bash script somehow, or with the repository you are manipulating if it is different from the one pybackpack is using. Have you tried running rdiff-backup directly from the command line doing something simple like just viewing the help output? And then try the commands from the bash script individually, and/or other rdiff-backup commands that just read from the repository. -- R.

I created a new folder Full_system_backup_Fedora and then modified the script so it would write to the new folder. Other than changing the destination folder I made no other changes to the script. However, I also modified my rdiff_excludes.txt file by adding - *.iso and - /home/jjj/Azureus Downloads/. I don't think changing the excludes will have made a difference, but you could try deleting them just to check. From the looks of the traceback you posted, I suspect there's something wrong with your destination folder. Although I don't really understand the code in detail, it appears to me as though rdiff-backup is finding an empty list of increments, something it apparently isn't prepared to handle. I'm assuming you are getting one traceback for each command in your bash file, if that isn't the case let me know :) I'd advise deleting your backup target directory and reinitializing it. -- R.
