*We have been running rdiff-backup via a cron script (follows) for the last
few months against 3 systems with no problem. The backup directory is
rotated each week, and last night the initial (full) backup apparently
failed.*
*BACKUP SCRIPT:*
#!/bin/sh
logfile=/var/log/rdiff-backup.log
export update=$(date +'%H%M%S')
/bin/date +'%H%M%S' /mySQLbackup/rdiff-backup-time.log
#echo $update /var/log/rdiff-backup.log
exec $logfile 21
export WEEK=$(date +'%V')
### The WEEK var is to recycle the backup each week.
### The time wrapper captures the Elapsed time, User time, CPU time, and
the percentage of CPU time used by the process.

cycled it looks to have failed running the VREI cycle but no error
recorded, just stopped after the 000101 cycle.*
