After using rdiff for daily backups for the last couple weeks, I've run
into the problem described at
http://cvs.lp.se/doc/rdiff-backup/FAQ.html#dir_not_empty
It appears to be triggered by removal of a directory in the production
copy, which creates problems when the backup copy tries to duplicate the
removal.
I am not able to perform the backup outside of NFS, as we are doing this
in case of a local server failure while also conforming to existing
internal network infrastructure. Is there a known workaround for this
issue? Has it been resolved in the 1.1 series? If the answer to these is
"no", are there alternative backup systems similar in functionality to
rdiff-backup? (preferably with support for diffs of binary files, like
what rdiff-backup uses)
Thanks!
Nick
