Jean-Peer, the same happened to me just now, too ("TypeError: %d format:
a number is required, not str"). Do you want/need the output from my
nssbackup.log as well?

Another "problem" (not a real problem for me, though) is, that I wanted
nssbackup to make additional backups to existing ones already made with
sbackup. I get a warning which reads:

2010-05-17 21:45:30,190 - WARNING in BackupManager.makeBackup(308):
There are snapshots with old snapshot format. Please upgrade them if you
want to use them.

So, how to upgrade them? It's not a problem in my case to start the
backups from scratch with nssbackup. I just noticed the warning and
wondered how to "upgrade" existing ones. There may be other users who
can't simply backup from scratch, so they may get into trouble when
switching from sbackup to nssbackup. Btw, the backup did not perform due
to having not enough space left on my backup stick (8 GB stick) as
nssbackup wanted to start a full backup which obviously is related to
the old archive format already on the stick.

Thanks, Frank
