Wow, that was a fast response.

Running my backup gave me immediately this error: http://pastebin.com/qLtRe861 I tried the steps 1-3 again today. This time there was no 1.2016-07-30T16:25:41+02:00.diff.gz file to remove in long_filename_data/ But a new current_mirror.2016-08-21T22:07:29+02:00.data file had to be removed. The result was the same. I could run the --list-increments option successfully, but the backup failed with the exception. Do you have more suggestions what I could try? Thank you.
