[rdiff-backup-users] SHA1 checksums missing?

[Lucas Burdick]

Hey There,

 

I’m trying to verify my backups but it seems like rdiff-backup isn’t keeping SHA1 data to compare my files.  Either that or I’m totally missing something (entirely possible).

 

When I do a --verify  I get the following error for what seems like every file (the cron email I get is 8MB):

 

Warning: Cannot find SHA1 digest for file xxx,

perhaps because this feature was added in v1.1.1

 

And then when I try --compare-hash I get this:

 

Warning: Metadata file has no digest for xxx, unable to compare.

 

Can somebody please help?  When I do a manual “sha1sum file” or “openssl sha1 file” I get a valid return. 

 

I’m running version 1.2.2 on CentOS 5.2 AND 4.7.  Backups seem to work fine as I have restored from them before.

 

Thanks

Lucas
