Hi there,

I'm trying to get duplicity to backup the data on my production-server,
but it crashes after about an hour:

calzone:~# sh duplicity.sh
Warning, found incomplete backup sets, probably left from aborted session
No signatures found, switching to full backup.
Error initializing file /dev/log
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 373, in ?
    if __name__ == "__main__": main()
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 366, in main
    if not sig_chain: full_backup(col_stats)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 142, in full_backup
    bytes_written = write_multivol("full", tarblock_iter, globals.backend)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 89, in write_multivol
    backend.put(tdp, dest_filename)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/backends.py", line
349, in put
    self.error_wrap('storbinary', "STOR "+remote_filename, source_file)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/backends.py", line
335, in error_wrap
    except ftplib.all_errors, e: raise BackendException(e)
duplicity.backends.BackendException: 421 Idle timeout (180 seconds):
closing control connection



On the remote FTP a lot of files like
"duplicity-full.2008-12-14T18:34:28+02:00.vol2444.difftar.gpg"
Is created.
2444 is the last file. Almost all files are about 5-6 megabytes.



My current script:


calzone:~# cat /root/duplicity.sh
#!/bin/bash
export FTP_PASSWORD=*CUT*
export PASSPHRASE=

duplicity --encrypt-key "D6ABA9DB" --sign-key "C533733F"  \
- --exclude /proc --exclude /mnt --exclude /tmp \
/ ftp://address@hidden//



Yes the passphrase is indeed empty.

The OS is Debian, and I've set it up according to
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/209


Can someone tell me what's going wrong? The data is about 100G without
tarring.

Cheers,

Boudewijn Ector
