Hi, I am using rdiff-backup sucessfully to backup very large NAS servers (~3TB each). The setup is one primary nas, one secondary nas.
I use the "local" method of rdiff backup, where I mount the secondary's volume on the primary via NFS, then tell rdiff-backup to use the mountpoint as the destination. Things have been humming along as expected for several weeks, until last night. My nightly rdiff-backup script emails errors if rdiff-backup returns non-zero. All 5 of my NAS primary servers emailed this traceback: (I apologize for the loss of newlines). Note these are indepedant servers and the tracebacks are identical. It is possible we experienced a network partition between the primary and backup last night. Thanks, Federico D. E. Shaw Research LLC rdiff-backup:did not succeed: Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
