Dear all, Thanks for this script! Really fills the gap between rsync and more advanced backup tools! I ran into some trouble I hope to find some help here!
I’m running rdiff-backup with the following cronjob script:
—Cut--
#!/bin/bash
if [ -e /tmp/backup-XXX.lock ]
then
echo "Previous backup still in progress! Bailing out!";
exit 0;
fi
echo "Setting lock file!";
touch /tmp/backup-XXX.lock
echo "Backing up etc!";
nice -n -3 rdiff-backup --print-statistics /etc
YYY.domain.nl::/data/backup/XXX/rdiff-disk-backup/etc;
echo "Done!";
echo "Backing up home!";
nice -n -3 rdiff-backup --print-statistics /home
YYY.domain.nl::/data/backup/XXX/rdiff-disk-backup/home;
echo "Done!”;
echo "Removing lock file!";
rm /tmp/backup-XXX.lock;
echo "Done!";
-Cut-
During the last backup I got several UpdateErrors with seemingly random backup
files (just including three):
—Cut-
UpdateError 529841/top100000.txt Updated mirror temp file
/data/backup/XXX/rdiff-disk-backup/home/529841/rdiff-backup.tmp.265 does not
match source
UpdateError marijn/src/perl-5.16.1/x2p/s2p Updated mirror temp file
/data/backup/XXX/rdiff-disk-backup/home/marijn/src/perl-5.16.1/x2p/rdiff-backup.tmp.4011
does not match source
UpdateError 529841/FVC/Meta_all/ecrhs_ALL1.txt Updated mirror temp file
/data/backup/XXX/rdiff-disk-backup/home/529841/FVC/Meta_all/rdiff-backup.tmp.231
does not match source
-Pase-
The files mentioned here ARE existing on the backup source drive with no
peculiar ownership or permissions. Somehow they are NOT on the backup folder -
they should have been, some of the files are there and not changed since we
start using rdiff-backup. I think the error message is indirectly related to
the problem. Could this be a network failure - as you can see in the script we
are using ssh?
More important: what can I do to trigger the rdiff-backup to reconsider en copy
these omitted files?
Thanks very much in advanced!
