Hello! I have played around for quiet a while now, but without success. :confused:
I want to backup from my windows box to my linux server. I have installed on both boxes rdiff-backup manually by downloading the tar.gz file und following the README file. I tried version 1.1.5, 1.1.10, 1.1.11 and 1.1.12. Always the same versions on both machines. For installing I followed the the blog entry at http://katastrophos.net/andre/blog/?p=19 and used the patch on 1.1.5 but not on the other versions. (But obvious, would this only make a difference on a running backup). When I test the backup with: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/install/rdiff-backup-1.1.5 [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Testing server started by: ssh -C [EMAIL PROTECTED] rdiff-backup --server Server OK But when I try to do the real backup then, it fails: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/install/rdiff-backup-1.1.5 $ rdiff-backup /cygdrive/n/save/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]::/backup/photo-raid/backup-dir [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Exception 'need more than 3 values to unpack' raised of class '<type 'exceptions.ValueError'>': File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 302, in error_check_Main try: Main(arglist) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 322, in Main take_action(rps) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 278, in take_action elif action == "backup": Backup(rps[0], rps[1]) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 332, in Backup rpout.conn.fs_abilities.backup_set_globals(rpin) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/connection.py", line 447, in __call__ return apply(self.connection.reval, (self.name,) + args) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/connection.py", line 369, in reval if isinstance(result, Exception): raise result Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in <module> rdiff_backup.Main.error_check_Main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 302, in error_check_Main try: Main(arglist) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 322, in Main take_action(rps) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 278, in take_action elif action == "backup": Backup(rps[0], rps[1]) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 332, in Backup rpout.conn.fs_abilities.backup_set_globals(rpin) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/connection.py", line 447, in __call__ return apply(self.connection.reval, (self.name,) + args) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/connection.py", line 369, in reval if isinstance(result, Exception): raise result ValueError: need more than 3 values to unpack Fatal Error: Lost connection to the remote system I could not find any hint, what's really wrong here. And as I am not able to program python.... I only think, that the describet lines in the Stacktrace are only the error handling parts of the different Classes/Methods. Would be happy about any hint! greets, mongole -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/rdiff-backup-not-working-in-cygwin-tf4932268.html#a14117194 Sent from the rdiff-backup-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
