Does this mean that generally speaking openafs backup does not work anymore with version 1.6.13 on servers?

Yesterday I upgraded the OpenAFS packages on our servers running Debian Wheezy 
from 1.6.9-1~bpo70+1 to 1.6.13-1 (compiled and build from sid source).

Since then the backup command stopped working with an error, e.g.:

# /usr/sbin/backup dump -volumeset coursebackup -dump /aug
Starting dump of volume set 'coursebackup' (dump level '/aug')
backup: Volume name is illegal ; Failed to evaluate volume set

The backup volume set looks like this:

backup> listv
Volume set coursebackup:
    Entry   1: server .*, partition .*, volumes: course\..*\.backup

Everything else seemed to be okay, no problems with fileservers and volume 
servers.
Now, I've gone back to the old version, installing the 1.6.9 packages. With 
this version the backup is working again.

Any idea what could cause the error in the latest version?

it's a known regression introduced with commit 
63087b338e3d0fbbb26ee183a039052bf07aaaec  in 1.6.13. An alternative solution is 
being worked on in http://gerrit.openafs.org/1196{7,8,9} and should be released 
soon.

The changes will need some tweaking when applied to 1.6.

Thanks for the report.
