The problem is that I run rdiff-backup in a crontab and one of the commands there includes --remove-older-than. That's a very creative solution though. Because of this, I think there is a gaping security hole in any automated rdiff-backup scheme that pushes backups to the server. Pulling to the backup server eliminates this problem, but if the backup server is compromised, the infiltrator has root read access to each system being backed up and can thereby compromise each of those systems as well. Is rdiff-backup ill-suited to automated backups? - Grant >> I'm using rdiff-backup in an automated "push" arrangement with access >> to the backup server provided via SSH keys and restricted to the >> rdiff-backup command like command="rdiff-backup --server".

[rdiff-backup-users] Hash doesn't match recorded hash
Hi there! I need to restore an old VMware image, but I am getting LOTS of these errors: Error reading /backup/weird/home/wonko/os/vmware/xp/winXPPro-0.log, substituting empty file. Warning: Hash da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 of winXPPro-0.log doesn't match recorded hash db9943d0284382131b553cef380aae99871b0f2e! Any idea what has happened? rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir --force says nothing has to be checked, and option --verify does not find errors. The hard drive seems to be okay, no errors in the syslog, and a long SMART selftest also does not find any errors. I can restore some other directories I tried, but I need the backup of this VMware machine.

Hi Filip I think lots of people are using rdiff-backup but no one is maintaining it, sadly. Still it works for most of us very well. Do you have any plans to release an update to rdiff-backup-fs 1.0.0?

Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Prevent rdiff-backup from deleting?
I think (but haven't tried) you could alter the rdiff-backup option text like this (this is under Ubuntu 10.04, the location might differ with another OS): sed -i 's/remove-older-than/remove-older-thax/g' /usr/share/pyshared/rdiff_backup/*.py So unless an infiltrator knew the new command name (remove-older-thax in the example above), they couldn't use it.
