Hi all,

When I do:

rdiff-backup [EMAIL PROTECTED]::/usr/www/users/bendoo/
/root/backup/bendoo-test
...I get a the following error from the remote system:

Exception '[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/www/users'' raised of class
'exceptions.OSError':

Althoug I do not have permissions in "/usr/www/users/", I do have in
"/usr/www/users/bendoo/" (this is my webroot).

I do not understand why rdiff complains about permissions while I only want to back-up "/usr/www/users/bendoo/" and not the higher-level directories?

I also have this issue running rdiff-backup on a webhost (bluehost) where
/home is a weird filesystem that I have no permissions for, but I can
access /home/myuser just fine. I wanted to back up some parts of my home
directory using rdiff-backup, but I currently cannot because of this.

I would be very happy to see this fixed.

Hi,

This bug is fixed in rdiff-backup 1.1.15.

restore_set_root should check if it can read a particular directory
before checking if "rdiff-backup-data" is contained in it. Closes
Savannah bug #21106. (Patch from Alex Chapman)

cheers,
Andrew
