Hi all, Anybody else getting this? I got this from rdiff-backup-1.2.8-win32.zip, on Win XP SP2. I don't think the file server is the issue since the same destination file share is used to rdiff-backup my other files and they don't fail. Evidently it doesn't like something that's within that one folder I'm trying to back up.
Any insight appreciated. In the meantime I'll try to narrow it down to specifically which files it doesn't like, but that could take a while. I suspect this has to do with length of the path name, especially the destination path name of the metadata, since it has extra path elements & long file names automatically generated. Some of my source data paths are over 100 chars. It's hard to tell, but I think the error comes from some of those. Windows only supports around 253 chars max. I don't have much of a choice of shortening the path to the source files. Using -v higher than 3 just spews meaningless unrelated error messages on every file, such as "can't retrieve ACL for xxxx". So more verbosity is useless in tracking down the exception that's actually killing the program. PS: the message "Found interrupted initial backup. Removing..." makes no difference; it's only there because this isn't the first attempt. I can manually delete the destination folder & still get the same error on the next attempt. C:\temp>"C:\Program Files\rdiff-backup\rdiff-backup" -v3 c:\data \\fileserver\home\h ubbard\data Found interrupted initial backup. Removing...
