I'm running rdiff-backup 0.12.8, because the system I'm backing up is
pretty ancient and I just haven't been motivated to upgrade it yet. A
while back, one of my backups was interrupted, so the next time it ran
rdiff-backup had to regress the archive, and encountered an error:
Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
Warning, metadata file has entry for var/spool/exim/input/1FQbbR-0007NJ-00-J,
but there are no associated files
Now, every time I run the backup, I get this:
UpdateError var/spool/exim/input/1FQbbR-0007NJ-00-J File changed from regular
file before signature
The rest of the backup works normally. The file these messages refer
to no longer exists on the source system -- it was obviously just a
temporary file in Exim's queue.
I'm not sure where to look for this in the metadata. Presumably, I
need to find it and delete it manually? Or would this be handled
better by a newer version of rdiff-backup? I'm willing to upgrade, I
just need a good excuse.
Thanks,
Randall
