2019-06-14 Thread Chris Wilson
It's also possible that rdiff-backup on the server is using too much memory (or space on /tmp, if that's a ramdisk), causing the system to swap to death. You could run vmstat on the server during the backup, and when it freezes, look at the recent statistics (the last few lines before it froze).

Hi Reio, You need to delete files from the destination that have been removed from the source, especially the current_mirror file. Use rsync with --delete to do that. Thanks, Chris. On Thu, 23 Dec 2021 at 11:24, Reio Remma via Any discussion of rdiff-backup wrote: > Hello! > > I'm migrating
