In the rdiff-backup section, there is possibly a typo:
There are these two quoted lines:
Quote:
# mkdir /media/hdb1/rdiff-backups/192.168.0.2/root
# rdiff-backup --exclude '/tmp/*' --exclude '/proc/*' --exclude '/sys/*' --exclude '/media/*/*' 192.168.0.2::/media/hdb1/rdiff-backups/192.168.0.2/root
The source and destination pathes are put together. But as I understand this the second line should be as follows:
# rdiff-backup --exclude '/tmp/*' --exclude '/proc/*' --exclude '/sys/*' --exclude '/media/*/*' 192.168.0.2::/ /media/hdb1/rdiff-backups/192.168.0.2/root
(missing slash and space after "192.168.0.2::") |

Morning/evening/night bluewater 
Still up or up again? 
Just started reading into it. The question is, if there is the source directory missing. manpage says:
Quote:
rdiff-backup [options] [[[user@]host1.foo]::source_directory] [[[user@]host2.foo]::destination_directory]
We have a German speaking thread as well, where I stated, that I use rsync and have not used rdiff-backup for ages, but there really might be the source directory missing. But I am no expert anymore on rdiff-backup to decide.

yes, and if it would be the destination then th ip is wrong:
here how it reads on the kanotix webpage where it seems to derive from ( http://kanotix.com/FAQ-id_cat-69.html ):
# mkdir /media/hdb1/rdiff-backups/192.168.0.2/root
# rdiff-backup --exclude '/tmp/*' --exclude '/proc/*' --exclude '/sys/*'\
> --exclude '/media/*/*' 192.168.0.2::/ /media/hdb1/rdiff-backups/192.168.0.2/root
And I tried it this way! Works AND makes sense! |
