I don't (yet) do backups in parallel, although it's on my todo list.
However, you can greatly simplify your script. You had:
SRV=(server1 server2)
i=${#SRV[*]}
set $((i--))
# Loop through the array and backup each server
while [ $i -gt -1 ]
do
echo Beginning backup of ${SRV[$i]}
$RDIFF
Please give me guldens how to configure rdiff-backup
configuration file on RedHat Linux. It’s very urgent.
If it is very urgent then I suggest you pay someone to configure it
for you. Please don't expect voluntary mailing list members to respond
to your perceived need for urgency.

I know FAT16 has a limit around there on number of files, but I'm
almost positive this is FAT32 where the limit is much bigger according
to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table.
Are you ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that this is not a FAT16 partition?
I'm seeing this consistently on certain client-to-server combinations. I
ran a backup with -v9 today and the last part of the trace is attached.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks,

What does safe mean? Safe enough that you never have to carry out test
restores? NO backup system is that safe, ergo test restores must be
carried out and they will answer your

/var/log/auth (or maybe 'syslog', depending on your setup).

Given that you are pretty new at the CLI, it might make sense to post
here the exact commands you are using.

I hope you get your problem resolved - as others have already said, it
doesn't look like an rdiff-backup problem anyway.
More to the point, if you need help in future, I hope you're able to
pick a less rude subject.

I have a server being backed up by rdiff-backup, and occasionally the
backup fails for network or other reasons. The problem I am experiencing
happens on the _next_ backup. The command issued is:
--
rdiff-backup
.. as if it's not seeing that all the files are then
same as on the destination.
No compare is done on a restore. It's exactly that: a restore that
overwrites the destination if --force is specified (otherwise it
expects to create a new directory to restore into).
