Description
Running v0.5.4 of pybackpack and rdiff-backup v1.1.14 on Ubuntu Feisty with 2.6.20-16 generic kernel.
I'm making a backup of files from an ext3 partition on the Ubuntu machine and sending them via SSH to another Ubuntu machine on a LAN. The remote backup location is an NTFS partition if that matters. The backup appears to work, but at the very end I get a popup dialog box which says:
File backup to the remote host completed, but an error occurred whilst copying the Pybackpack backup set data file. All is not lost - you can manually copy this file from /root/.pybackpack/sets/Important Files/set.ini
to
/media/hda1/BACKUP/data/rdiff-backup-data/pybackpack.set (on host 192.168.0.4)
The "status window" shows the following:
Mon Jan 21 15:34:04 2008: Starting backup of 'Important Files' to '192.168.0.4' Mon Jan 21 15:34:04 2008: Analysing backup source. Mon Jan 21 15:34:06 2008: Backup source analysis complete. Mon Jan 21 15:34:06 2008: Running rdiff-backup. Mon Jan 21 15:34:06 2008: Backing up to mocha@192.168.0.4::/media/hda1/BACKUP/data Mon Jan 21 17:25:20 2008: Copying data file failed, please copy /root/.pybackpack/sets/Important Files/set.ini to /media/hda1/BACKUP/data/rdiff-backup-data/pybackpack.set (on remote host 192.168.0.4) manually. Mon Jan 21 17:25:20 2008: Backup completed.
I've tried recreating the backup set and it doesn't make any difference. I've tried other backup sets to the same machine and it also doesn't make a difference, I always get this error.
