[Duplicity-talk] "Result too large" error on running backup

[Adam Mercer]

Hi

I'm trying backup my home directory and I am receiving the following
error when trying to run a backup:

address@hidden ram]$ duplicity --no-encryption /Users/ram/
file:///Volumes/Backup/Home
No signatures found, switching to full backup.
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/opt/local/bin/duplicity", line 373, in ?
   if __name__ == "__main__": main()
 File "/opt/local/bin/duplicity", line 366, in main
   if not sig_chain: full_backup(col_stats)
 File "/opt/local/bin/duplicity", line 142, in full_backup
   bytes_written = write_multivol("full", tarblock_iter, globals.backend)
 File "/opt/local/bin/duplicity", line 79, in write_multivol
   else: at_end = gpg.GzipWriteFile(tarblock_iter, tdp.name)

   try: new_block = block_iter.next(bytes_to_go)

   result = self.process(self.input_iter.next(), size)
 File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py",
line 487, in process
   data, last_block = self.get_data_block(fp, size - 512)
 File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py",
line 507, in get_data_block
   buf = fp.read(max_size)
 File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py",
line 338, in read
   buf = self.infile.read(length)
IOError: [Errno 34] Result too large

Any idea whats causing this, and how I can fix it?

Cheers
