[rdiff-backup-users] Problem with sshfs

[Jonathan Ernst]

Hello,

I want to backup some directories to a sshfs mounted directory.

I have read
http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php/BackupToSshfsMount

But I always get the same error :

address@hidden:/mnt# sshfs
diskstation:/volume1/backuppc /mnt/backuppc/ -o workaround=rename
address@hidden:/mnt# rdiff-backup /etc /mnt/backuppc/etc/

Do you have any idea what's wrong ?

Thanks and best regards.
