Don't forget to remove the --force option after the first rdiff-backup run and then run rdiff-backup again. In my experience two rdiff-backup runs is required to be sure that the repo is working. Also I usually recommend using backupninja instead off rdiff-backup directly to provide a backup system.

[rdiff-backup-users] Exception '[Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory'
Hi all, I'm trying to backup two filesystems over SSH from a laptop to my linux server. The first has 4 gigs of data on an ext3 filesystem, the second has 48 gigs of data on an ntfs filesystem, mounted under linux using ntfs-3g. The first filesystem is backed up successfully, but unfortunately I am getting [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory about halfway through the backup of the second filesystem. Both the server and the laptop are running rdiff-backup 1.2.8, the server is using python 2.6.5, and the client is using python 2.6.4. The server has 8 GB of RAM, and the laptop has 2 GB of RAM. Here's the command line I'm using: rdiff-backup --exclude-other-filesystems --exclude-sockets /home/sarah/Data bac...@remote-backup::/nfs/media/backup/bode/rdiff-backup/home-sarah-Data I've put a log of the backup here: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/jfaulkne/bode-rdiff-backup.txt and here's the same failure when using --terminal-verbosity 7: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/jfaulkne/bode-rdiff-backup2.txt Anyone have any ideas as to what's going wrong here? thanks for any help, Jim Faulkner ___ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
