Hi Leland!
No worries about responses :)
I mount my Android device on my laptop and then start the backup of the
mounted folder.
So such a loop cannot be a problem and at the moment I have no clue what
could cause this.
If I find the time then I will re-try and test it on the weekend again.
Cheers,
Jonas

Apologies for the slow response. Some neurological issues plus Real Life make

Hi Leland!
Thank you for this suggestion.
You're welcome.
Mounting with sshfs works just fine.
I have tried a backup with it, but rdiff-backup is looping when using sshfs.
Does anybody have an idea why?
So I mean after everything is copied from my phone it starts again
copying from the beginning.

Hmmm. Strange. Although, as I said, I've never done this myself. You aren't
by any chance mounting _both_ ways with 'sshfs' are you? That is, mounting the
phone on the backup server, _and_ mounting the backup server on the phone?
Seems like that would create a recursive loop ... ?
Otherwise, when time permits, I can try some tests between two Linux machines
(sadly, my phone isn't set up for 'ssh' and friends).
Cheers
Leland
