UpdateErrors are normal on files that are altered while rdiff-backup is processing them. > Traceback (most recent call last): ... > File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 799, in > hardlink > self.conn.os.link(linkpath, self.path) > OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory I'm not sure what is causing this crash. rdiff-backup seems to have trouble replicating a hard link on the destination side. If you feel like looking more into this, try running at -v5 or -v7 to find the file it is crashing on. If it does crash consistently on the same file, do an ls -l of that file, and post if there's something unusual about it. If it's hardlinked to other file(s), ls -l those files, and say if rdiff-backup complained about those in any way. -- Ben Escoto
