[Duplicity-talk] Connection Timed Out BackendExceptions

[Matthew Kern]

I keep getting the following error message:

Debug: duplicity --verbosity 4 --no-print-statistics --remove-older- 
than 60D --exclude '/home/*/.gnupg' --include '/var/spool/cron/ 
crontabs' --include '/var/backups' --include '/etc' --include '/root'  
--include '/home' --include '/var/www'  --exclude '**' / ftp:// 
address@hidden//backupninja
Debug: No signatures found, switching to full backup. Traceback (most  
recent call last): File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 358, in ? if  
__name__ == "__main__": main() File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 351,  
in main if not sig_chain: full_backup(col_stats) File "/usr/bin/ 
duplicity", line 134, in full_backup bytes_written = write_multivol 
("full", tarblock_iter, globals.backend) File "/usr/bin/duplicity",  
line 86, in write_multivol backend.put(tdp, dest_filename) File "/usr/ 
lib/python2.3/site-packages/duplicity/backends.py", line 356, in put  
self.error_wrap('storbinary', "STOR "+remote_filename, source_file)  
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/duplicity/backends.py", line  
342, in error_wrap except ftplib.all_errors, e: raise BackendException 
(e) duplicity.backends.BackendException: (110, 'Connection timed out')

This is happening on two different servers (both failing with the  
BackendException showing Connection timed out).  Anyone have any  
ideas or suggestions on how best to troubleshoot this error?

===============================================
Cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?” Expediency asks the  
question, “Is it politic?”And Vanity comes along and asks the  
question, “Is it popular?” But Conscience asks the question, “Is it  
right?” And there comes a time when one must take a position that is  
neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because  
Conscience tells him it is right.
