Hello all,
I'm trying to set up rdiff-backup to copy a set of directories (eventually,
my entire Linux system) from several ext3 partitions to a single FAT32
external USB drive (so I can recover files easily to other operating
systems). I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and rdiff-backup 1.1.15, but when I run the
following command:
it copies some of the files and then aborts with the error '[Errno 22]
Invalid argument' described in detail below.
When I try to open the error log, I get the following message:
gzip:
/home/elliott/.fr-2SRY2D/error_log.2008-10-12;08418;05808;05835-07;05800.data.gz:
unexpected end of file
So I am including only what's displayed in the terminal.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you kindly,
Elliott.
Terminal output:
