I'm running rdiff-backup 0.12.8, because the system I'm backing up is pretty ancient and I just haven't been motivated to upgrade it yet. A while back, one of my backups was interrupted, so the next time it ran rdiff-backup had to regress the archive, and encountered an error:
Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now. Warning, metadata file has entry for var/spool/exim/input/1FQbbR-0007NJ-00-J, but there are no associated files Now, every time I run the backup, I get this: UpdateError var/spool/exim/input/1FQbbR-0007NJ-00-J File changed from regular file before signature The rest of the backup works normally. The file these messages refer to no longer exists on the source system -- it was obviously just a temporary file in Exim's queue. I'm not sure where to look for this in the metadata. Presumably, I need to find it and delete it manually? Or would this be handled better by a newer version of rdiff-backup? I'm willing to upgrade, I just need a good excuse.
