Re: [rdiff-backup-users] KeyError while backing up to sshfs

[Dominic Raferd]

I guess you already considered if you made any changes to your system or to /etc/backup.list that might have caused the error to occur?

You could try one or more of options --exclude-special-files --exclude-sockets --exclude-other-filesystems...

Dominic, thanks for the tip, alas no luck. Didn't work with the changed backup.list either.

- **/*~

- **/rdiff-backup.tmp.*

- **/#*#

- **/rdiff-backup.tmp.*

- /backup/usr/portage

- /backup/tmp

- /backup/var/tmp

- /backup/sys

- /backup/root

- /backup/var/log

- /backup/var/cache

- /backup/var/run

- /backup/dev

Jochen:

what if you change /etc/backup.list by removing the final slash from /backup/dev/ i.e. /backup/dev

I think that with your backup list it tries to backup /backup/dev (though not its contents) and maybe this causes the failure?

Hi,

I get a (repeatable) KeyError while backing up to sshfs using 

rdiff-backup on linux (either version 1.2.8 or 1.3.3). My backups ran 

normally for about a year, then this error came, and they don't work 

since.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Jochen

Command

===

rdiff-backup --no-hard-links --include-globbing-filelist 

/etc/backup.list --exclude-other-filesystems -v9 /backup /mnt/backup/one

Source directory /backup is a snapshot of /, /mnt/backup is a mounted 

sshfs, /dev does not exist in the target directory.

/etc/backup.list
