[rdiff-backup-users] Exception when backing up.

[Erik Forsberg]

Hi!

I'm currently evaluating rdiff-backup as a replacement for our old
Netvault setup (broken tape changer. Doh!)

Anyway, taking backup using the following command:

rdiff-backup --print-statistics --remote-schema 'ssh -i
/root/.ssh/id_rsa_rdiff-backup %s rdiff-backup --server'
/export/home/${user} hostname::/disk2/export/home/${user}

I get this traceback:

Exception 'socket() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)' raised of class 
'exceptions.TypeError':

Any ideas on this? rdiff-backup works as it should on a bunch of other
directories using the same transport. Odd.

Any other information I need to provide?

Btw, so far I'm quite impressed by the software. Very interesting concept.
