AW: [rdiff-backup-users] Rdiff backup still chokes if read-only files are found at target
Anybody here? ;-) The list seems to be a bit quiet. If this is the wrong place for this report, someone please tell me the correct one :-) I feel I did not provide enough information to get rid of the below bug. So, here you go: 1. I am using rdiff 1.3.3 for a local backup on a windows server 2003 32bit machine. 2. I am using the windows release that can be downloaded on rdiff-backup.nongnu.org as rdiff-backup-1.3.3-win32.zip. 3. My rdiff call is: rdiff-backup --force --no-acls --no-hard-links --print-statistics --include D:\\/home --include D:\\/profile --exclude D:\\/share/ElRv-Daten --include D:\\/share --exclude D:\\/** D:\/ D:\/rd/data 4. Zugriff verweigert in the below message is german for permission denied. When checking the folders, I found that the ACL entries are okay, but the read-only flag on the Eigene Bilder folder was set. So all in all, it seems to me that rdiff cannot remove this flag from folders. Below linked you find a similar problem with files. Next, windows prevents rdiff from deleting a folder that is still marked read-only. Consecuently, Rdiff crashes. To support my concern, I can tell you that you find quite a number of read only folders on windows systems, because that windows itself uses the read only flag on folders differently than on files: see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256614 . Additionally, the attribute setting for folders may be handled different (for example, you cant remove read only attribute on folders just using the explorer). Any help is appreciated, really... I like rdiff and dont want to chance the backup system (again)...

Following your posting, I have tested the behaviour of our system backing up read-only folders and files with rdiff-backup, and it works correctly, even when the read-only files change. We are backing up from Windows machines but to a Linux server (using TimeDicer as wrapper for rdiff-backup), I suspect this is where your problem lies. So a possible solution is to move your backup repository to a Linux server, this could even be a VM hosted on your Windows machine. Dominic, thank you so far! I think setting up a linux server might be a solution, and will consider this, yes. We need a running backup and if this is the way to do, we need to do it. Moreover, I did not know timedicer so far. Reading the TODO list that includes a GUI, I suggest you to have a look on http://www.nongnu.org/jbackpack/ - this is a nice gui for RDIFF repositories. However, this does not solve the issue within rdiff-backup. Even though I could just install a linux machine, for many users this will not be an option Greetz from Bonn, David ___ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
