I recently noticed one of the rdiff-backup processes on our backup server was taking far longer than the typical 1-3 hours to run. I caught it when it had been running continuously for about 5 days after it was initiated. I killed the process and re-ran it, and received this in the rdiff-backup-date/backup.log:
Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now. Followed by lots of disk activity but no other output. This process against ran for over a day before I killed it. This appears to be mentioned in your website FAQ: http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org/FAQ.html#regress_failure. Since it says this "should not happen", I am writing a message to the mailing list. I am going to try the suggested workaround, but would appreciate any other advice or insight into the potential causes of this problem. If any of my rdiff-backup logs can be useful for debugging, let me know and I would be happy to provide them! Cheers, Garrett Robinson
