Have you done it just once before to this location?
I have backed up the laptop to this location about three times before.
Exception '[Errno 13] Permission denied: > '/mnt/backup/ibookbackups/private/var/db/Spotlight-V100/%2FVolumes%2Fftpmirror.sectoor.de'' > raised of class 'exceptions.OSError': What are the permissions on that directory? rdiff-backup has some problems with directories with weird permissions like d--x------, because it mirrors those permissions in the repository, and then finds that it can't access the directory on the next run.
The permissions on the backup side don't look problematic: drwx------ 2 corey corey 4096 Jun 27 2006 %2FVolumes%2Fftpmirror.sectoor.de On my laptop the permissions look slightly different (could it be the x bit is the problem?): drw------- 2 root wheel 68 Jun 27 2006 %2FVolumes%2Fftpmirror.sectoor.de Is the issue with permissions a known issue that is being worked on or should I create a bug report? That was the error on the local side, the trace above was the error
reported by the remote side before it died. So yes, it is a red herring. Try --check-destination-dir on the repository to fix it.
Thanks for that tip. I will try that. This does cause me quite a bit of concern over the stability of rdiff-backup. Corey
