Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Exception when running the backup

[Andrew Ferguson]

Frederik,

I believe the error you are seeing is due to a corrupt file. You can try
running the backup again and see if it works now. Or, you can run
rdiff-backup with -v5 and see which file it is trying to backup before
it fails.
