[rdiff-backup-users] Initial Backup failure

[Drrighteous]

Hey everyone, I'm trying to use rdiff-backup to backup a server remotely colocated. I've tried several times, but always somewhere in the process, one of the transfers fails and the backup is aborted. This of course normally happens after gigs of files have already been transfered, so what am I to do. I'm currently using version 12.0 and here is a sample of whats happening when the error occurs:

Processing changed file website2311/htdocs/images/profile/original/54776.jpg
