Now I have rdiff-backup version 1.0.4 installed on two servers and I've successfully created a backup of /etc (local is Mac OS X 10.4.6, remote is Solaris 10 x86). But now when I try and do a --compare I get a Security Violation exception, for function FilenameMapping.set_init_quote_vals. I can update the local backup copy from the remote just fine, but -- compare fails. I guess this is specific to backing up to a HFS+ filesystem that is case insensitive. How can I get around this? noisy:~ root# /opt/local/bin/rdiff-backup -v5 --compare llama.va.com.au::/etc llamaetc Extended attributes not supported on filesystem at /private/var/root/ llamaetc/rdiff-backup-data/rdiff-backup.tmp.0 ACLs not supported on filesystem at /private/var/root/llamaetc/rdiff- backup-data/rdiff-backup.tmp.0 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ connection.py", line 333, in answer_request File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ Security.py", line 205, in vet_request File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ Security.py", line 186, in raise_violation File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ Main.py", line 285, in Main File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ Main.py", line 258, in take_action File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ Main.py", line 835, in Compare File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ Main.py", line 700, in require_root_set File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ Main.py", line 741, in single_set_fs_globals File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ connection.py", line 445, in __call__ File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ connection.py", line 367, in reval File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ Main.py", line 285, in Main File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ Main.py", line 253, in take_action File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ connection.py", line 352, in Server File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ connection.py", line 314, in get_response File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/ connection.py", line 230, in _get rdiff_backup.connection.ConnectionReadError: Truncated header string (problem probably originated remotely)
