[rdiff-backup-users] Mirror_metadata corruption on OS X 10.4

Subject: [rdiff-backup-users] Mirror_metadata corruption on OS X 10.4
Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2005 06:01:12 -0500

I made a fresh backup with rdiff-backup 1.1.0, then did an incremental backup. It failed, complaining about not being able to read a 13M xml file. The file was quite readable, and I couldn't see any reason for the failure, so I tried again. This time the backup failed complaining about corrupt mirror_metadata.

Processing changed file rdiff-backup.patch

I checked the last mirror_metadata file, and it was corrupt.

1. Is this corruption a result of the earlier failure to backup? Should I need to do anything special to recover from an error, or can I just try again.

2. I should have kept a better log of the first error. I tried to gunzip the error log, and that failed with:

error_log.2005-11-01T21;05811;05811-05;05800.data.gz: unexpected end of file

3. I note that many of the file names in the rdiff-backup-data directory have strange encoding in the file names. Why? See:
