[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup got stuck....what now?

[roland]

hello !

 

something got wrong with my backup today.

 

while doing rdiff-backup, the whole backup got stuck when it showed

 

iIncrementing mirror file vserver1_rdiff/var/tmp

i assume that must have had something todo with some stale nfs mount i got some days ago, but not sure here....

 

i took a look at the python process with strace, but it was just sitting there, doing nothing anymore.

 

so i killed that process.

 

afterwards, i did

 

rdiff-backup -l --list-increment-sizes ./vserver1_rdiff/

 

and got:

 

vserver1:

so - what`s this? 2 backups at the same time ?

 

can anybody tell what`s the safest thing to do now ?

 

regards
