Andrew, Thanks for the quick reply. I’m pretty sure these aren’t hardlinks, if I’m
clear on the definition of hardlink. There are a lot of files that return
the error but here is the first one (from the mirror data): ls -l ACCPACPL.PIF -rwxr--rw- 1 rdiff-backup
rdiff-backup 967 Dec 5 1998
ACCPACPL.PIF file ACCPACPL.PIF ACCPACPL.PIF: data All this data is the same when the commands are run on the
original source file as well. Maybe some of the files giving me errors are hardlinks, but I
can’t imagine all of them are. I’m running rdiff-backup locally on the mirror host
getting data over SSH from two remote sources. I get this error from both
sets of backups. I have an unprivileged user (rdiff-backup) doing the backup. Any ideas? I really appreciate the help. Lucas From: Andrew Ferguson

Hey There, I’m trying to verify my backups but it seems like
rdiff-backup isn’t keeping SHA1 data to compare my files. Either
that or I’m totally missing something (entirely possible). When I do a --verify I get the following error for what
seems like every file (the cron email I get is 8MB): Warning: Cannot find SHA1 digest for file xxx, perhaps because this feature was added in v1.1.1 Hi Lucas, What is an example file that this happens with? More
importantly, what is the type of that file? Is it a hardlink? eg, please send: ls -l /path/to/xxx file /path/to/xxx Also, what is the backup configuration you are using? (how
are you running rdiff-backup?) Andrew |
