Hello everyone! Since this weekend (and i also remember that problem to have occured earlier) i have a problem with rdiff-backup. When I try to backup my files (with the same command a always used) i get the following error (see below). At first a few notes on my behavior: I normally backup all my files with the command see below. Because that did not work with the following response: [root@Banjo Benji]# rdiff-backup '/home/Benji' '/media/Banjos_Wissen/Backup-Banjo' Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now. ^[[D^[[DSpecialFileError .gdesklets/sockets/%3A0.0 Socket error: AF_UNIX path too long ListError .gtk-bookmarks/.gvfs [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/Benji/.gvfs' UpdateError Downloads/rdiff-backup.tmp.64562 [Errno 84] Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character: '/media/Banjos_Wissen/Backup-Banjo/rdiff-backup-data/increments/Downloads/330 -
