Good day all. I'm having a tough problem with backing up a server. We've been running successful backups on the server, but due to storage constraints we dropped the retention to just one day. We're using backupninja to manage the backups for us, but the underlying backup tool is rdiff-backup.
Since then we've been having regression and timeout issues, and have not been able to successfully backup the data (which is quiet large) I've even tried deleting the destination location completely and starting from scratch. The backup command is : /usr/bin/rdiff-backup --force --remote-schema \ 'ssh -C -p 22 %s rdiff-backup --server' --print-statistics \ --exclude '/home/*/.gnupg' \ --exclude '/var/cache/backupninja/duplicity' \ --include '/var/backups' \ --include '/usr/local/bin' \ --include '/usr/local/sbin' \ --include '/var/lib/dpkg/status' \ --include '/var/lib/dpkg/status-old' \ --include '/var/lib/jenkins' \ --exclude '/*' / \ [email protected]::/srv/backups/ jenkins-master-01.internal.company.com/ The error we get is, Multiple lines of "UpdateError ${path_to_file} Updated mirror temp file ${path_to_another_file} does not match source" ending with: Killed Fatal Error: Lost connection to the remote system I'm really at a loss as to what is causing the problem. It's likely that the files listed in the "does not match source" are changing during backup as our Jenkins server is pretty busy. If this is the cause, how do I get around that ? Any help would be appreciated.
