> EOFError: Compressed file ended before the end-of-stream marker was
reached
The EOFError: Compressed file ended before the end-of-stream marker was
reached indicates that rdiff-backup encountered a gzip-compressed file that
is incomplete or corrupted. It tried to read past the end of what it
expected to be valid compressed data. This typically happens if the file
was partially written, truncated, or damaged during storage.
Most likely one of the ".gz" files located in rdiff-backup-data is
corrupted.
You may try to identify the files manually using "gzip -t <filename.gz>".
