I've been trying to backup for a couple of days now and I'm having some

I've tried to delete the directory on both the server and the client
without any luck. At this point, I'm pretty stuck, so any suggestions
are highly appreciated.
which directory did you delete?
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/gzip.py", line 309, in _read_eof
raise IOError, "CRC check failed"
can you try running "gzip --test" on all the .gz files from the last
failed backup?
er if it wasn't clear i meant to do this in dest/rdiff-backup-data...
perhaps something like this:
find dest/rdiff-backup-data -type f -name \*.gz -print0 \
| xargs -0r gzip --test
it could take a while but should do the trick...
Here's the results of that:
$ find server-root/rdiff-backup-data -type f -name \*.gz -print0 |
xargs -0r gzip --test
gzip:
server-root/rdiff-backup-data/mirror_metadata.2006-03-12T21:46:00-07:00.snapshot.gz:
unexpected end of file
Should I delete this file and re-run the backup then?
it's likely rdiff-backup needs to be more graceful in the event that gzip
finds a crc error in one of its files... but it'd be nice to verify this
is what's causing your problem first.
i assume you did have a failed backup for some reason -- power failure or
other crash during a backup maybe?
I'm not 100% sure why it died, but yes, it failed for some reason.
Thanks,
Mike
