I have recently upgraded my servers from Redhat 7 and 8 to Fedora Core 5
and am running rdiff-backup 1.0.4
On serverA I have a large directory, /data, which I am backing up to
server2 into /backup1/data
The initial rdiff-backup builds the backup just fine, allbeit taking
many hours, as expected.
When I go to run an incremental rdiff-backup, things proceed for many
hours as the system steps through the /data directory, then things get
messy... rdiff-backup starts to then attempt to backup my root
directory into the destination directory. So /bin, /etc, /usr, and the
rest are written to the destination directory. Of course when the
attempt to write /proc happen, everything falls apart and the list of
error messages is huge.
Also, whole directories are not showing up in the backup. (for example,
the /data/Word Files/pete/, /data/Word Files/, /data/Word Files/pete,
and /data/Word Files/jill are not backed up. (could this have something
to do with the /data/**.tmp in the exclude file?
The only change since the upgrade is adding the /data/**.tmp line to the
exclude file, but even without this line, I get the same results. This
all used to work just dandy before my upgrade. It seems I must be
missing something essential in the set-up of the exclude file. Any help
is greatly appreciated.

Here are the details:
this command line:
rdiff-backup --exclude-globbing-filelist
/root/scripts/RDIFFBACKUPEXCLUDE /data [EMAIL PROTECTED]::/backup1/data
after running for many hours, produces this error list (only a few lines
shown):
ListError proc/10/environ/exe [Errno 2] No such file or directory
ListError proc/10/task/10/environ/exe [Errno 2] No such file or directory
ListError proc/1326/environ/exe [Errno 2] No such file or directory
ListError proc/1326/task/1326/environ/exe [Errno 2] No such file or
directory
ListError proc/1348/environ/exe [Errno 2] No such file or directory
... and so forth for many pages...
Here is the content of RDIFFBACKUPEXCLUDE:
/data/xpbackup
/data/**.tmp
