I've been backing up my linux workstation with rdiff-backup. The backup server runs debian stable (it is a Linksys NSLU), but the workstation runs debian sid. As a result there is a version difference for rdiff on the two systems. On test backups, rdiff always complains about this, but runs anyway. To keep the version difference close, I "hold" rdiff on the ws. Because of the "hold" rdiff got out of sync with some dependancies, I think, and dpkg showed it only "half" installed. I got some errors in the backup.log as well. So I took the "hold" off and let it upgrade to 1.1.17. However, on the server rdiff was ver. 1.1.14. I guess this difference was too much and the backups failed.
To fix it, I went back and reinstalled testing ver 1.1.16 on the ws, and now it's working again. This seems like a problem that will keep coming back though. How can I work around this? Any ideas? :( Thx, feffer +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
