Hello list,

After running for a very long period without problems, rdiffbackup now
exits with the following error:
assert newrp.getinctype() == oldrp.getinctype() == 'snapshot' (see
details below)
It might be related that one (or more) previous backup attempts did not
finish correctly.
Any ideas how to solve this? I'm running fedora 15.

Thanks,
Jan.

Full rdiffbackup output:
address@hidden ~]# ./rdiff-backup.sh
Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
