hi, we use to backup all of our server to backup acls and xattrs too. ie. we use the pylibacl and pyxattr on the server. although we backup windows servers too. we mount them with cifs on the backup server and backup the mounted dir. but after we install the pylibacl and pyxattr on the server we no longer be able to backup these windows machines, since we got the error bellow. is it possible to switch of the ea on a given host? ie. is there any way to inform rdiff-backup no to use acl and xattr? it'd be a useful option like: -noacl -noxattr. the best would be if rdiff-backup recognize if these are not suported on the given directory and in this case don't want to use it. the worse thing that currently it's not possible to backup some of our server with acl and some others without acl. thank you for your help in advance. yours. ------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ? rdiff_backup.Main.Main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 285, in Main take_action(rps) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 255, in take_action elif action == "backup": Backup(rps[0], rps[1]) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 299, in Backup backup_final_init(rpout) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 396, in backup_final_init checkdest_if_necessary(rpout) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 903, in checkdest_if_necessary dest_rp.conn.regress.Regress(dest_rp) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/regress.py", line 71, in Regress ITR.Finish() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rorpiter.py", line 251, in Finish to_be_finished.end_process() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/regress.py", line 282, in end_process rpath.copy_attribs(rf.metadata_rorp, rf.mirror_rp) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 161, in copy_attribs if Globals.eas_write: rpout.write_ea(rpin.get_ea()) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 614, in get_ea return self.data['ea'] KeyError: 'ea' ------------------------------------------- -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"
