I ran $ sudo rdiff-backup -v9 --print-statistics --exclude-filelist /usr/local/etc/rdiff_exclude / /backup/scruffy 2>&1 | tee rdiff-backup.txt
This time it exited right away. I've attached the log file, where the key message is Fatal Error: It appears that a previous rdiff-backup session with process id 4351 is still running. Process 4351 is /lib/systemd/systemd-resolved Is it safe to rerun it with --force?
