Jakob,
Thank you again for your help. I installed rdiff-backup v1.2.6 as
instructed, cleared the rdiff-backup-data directory using 'rm -Rf', and
re-ran rdiff-backup
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --exclude /home/shared --exclude-other-filesystems
/home /backup/home
but I get the following python messages:
--

Any suggestions?

Maarten, Jakob,
Thanks for your quick responses and suggestions. I'm using v1.1.5 in
Ubuntu 6.06.2 with kernel 2.6.21 on an Intel Xeon system. I have python
2.4 installed.
When I delete the rdiff-backup-data directory and then try the force
argument as such:
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --exclude-other-filesystems --force /home
/backup/home
I get the following message:
---
[...]

How do I empty the rdiff-backup-data directory without deleting it?
Also, do you have any further suggestions for how to fix my situation?
Thanks and kind regards,
Nasos
Your backup directory is /backup/home, so to empty
/backup/home/rdiff-backup-data you would run:
rm -Rf /backup/home/rdiff-backup-data/*
But i doubt that this will help when deleting the whole directory
doesn't help.
Your rdiff-backup version is really old, the problem you are seeing
might be fixed already.
I would try to upgrade rdiff-backup to the latest version. Compiling it
yourself is straight-forward:
You need to install a few packages:
apt-get librsync-dev python-dev gcc
Then you download
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-1.2.6.tar.gz
extract it, change to the extracted directory and run
python setup.py install
That's it...
Then empty the rdiff-backup-data folder and try again. Report back if
rdiff-backup still crashes!
HTH
Jakob
