Dear all,
I would like to start rdiff-backup on my small debian/Mac OS X network (until now I used plain rsync). I installed rdiff-backup version 1.1.5 on both systems and there seems to be no problem (on debian via apt-get and on OS X Tiger via darwinports). From my OS X machine I can issue a command like rdiff-backup me@powerbook::/Users/me /home/me/Backup/me without any problems. But I would like to use it as a cron job on the debian-server. Rsync worked just fine with a batch file like unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK eval `ssh-agent` ssh-add /home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe /usr/bin/rsync -avz me@powerbook:/Users/me /home/me/Backup but the seemingly equivalent batch file unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK eval `ssh-agent` ssh-add /home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe rdiff-backup flx@pb::/Users/me /home/me/Backup/me gives me the following error message: Agent pid 8100 Identity added: /home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe (/home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ? rdiff_backup.Main.error_check_Main(sys.argv[1:]) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'error_check_Main' Fatal Error: Truncated header string (problem probably originated remotely) Couldn't start up the remote connection by executing ssh -C me@powerbook rdiff-backup --server Remember that, under the default settings, rdiff-backup must be installed in the PATH on the remote system. See the man page for more information on this. This message may also be displayed if the remote version of rdiff-backup is quite different from the local version (1.1.5). Issuing ssh -C me@powerbook rdiff-backup --server results in the same error message. Did anybody experience the same error message?

I get it when rdiff-backup is not installed correctly. or more specifically when the sitepackages dir is not available. actually, it might be slightly different, but I would think its some sort of installation/path error. dave _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [hidden email] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki |

Hmm...
I get this when ssh returns an unexpected output like a last login message or /etc/motd or something. Be sure to have the following in your /etc/sshd_config: PrintMotd no PrintLastLog no Worked for me...
