Hi Folks, Longtime rdiff-backup user here. I've got a couple dozen desktops and servers backing up to a central server, all running openSUSE Leap 15.3.  Last week I updated one of the desktops to 15.4 and now I'm getting rdiff-backup errors. I vaguely recall that version 2 broke backward

On a possibly related situation, we have a requirement to move many terabytes of data from one machine to another in close proximity.  We were using rsync, but transfers would take many hours, if not days, even over a 10-GBe Ethernet link.  So we installed rsh and rsh-server and configured our

I'd like to add my concurrence, my life would be much more difficult without rdiff-backup.  I use it at home and at work, supporting dozens of Linux (openSUSE) servers and desktops. I've got probably 100-TB of rdiff-backup backups in various places. I'd also be happy to help with testing if

Hi Folks, Is there a way to prevent rdiff-backup from descending into an NFS-mounted filesystem? I don't think --exclude-other-filesystems will work since I already intentionally back up multiple filesystems in one invocation. I inadvertently backed up 25-T of data this weekend! Thanks, Lew

2015-12-11 Thread Lew Wolfgang
Hi Folks, I occasionally encounter an error that terminates a backup and requires a "--check-destination-dir" run to recover. The error seems to be associated with gzip.py being asked to do a negative seek in write mode. The docs for gzip.py explicitly say it can't do this. I'm not sure about
