Strange.

The limit on AF_UNIX paths is 107 characters (see the sockaddr_un structure in sys/un.h). What is the path you are trying to back them up to? (the path to the backup mirror) It could also be that the increments are causing a problem (as rdiff-backup tries to remove them from the mirror, now that you are using the --exclude-sockets option) Andrew -- Andrew Ferguson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ 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
