After upgrading my rdiff backup

rdiff-backup --version

rdiff-backup 1.2.8

i get the following error message:

Exception 'Found too many current_mirror incs!' raised of class '<type 'exceptions.AssertionError'>':

How would i find out which directory is having the issue?

I filed a bug report https://github.com/sol1/rdiff-backup/issues/37 and found the following work-around. It finds directories with multiple current_mirror entries. The ones with more than two are the culprit.

In my case two of the three files had a similar timestamp and I removed the one that was one minute older - now the error is gone.

Example:

doe@computer:/backup/rbackup$ sudo ./countmirror 

      3 ./company/Admin/rdiff-backup-data

Script:

#!/bin/bash

#

# get the current mirrors

# param 1: filter

#

get_current_mirrors() {

  local l_filter="$1"

  for f in $(find . -name current_m* ) ; do 

    d=$(dirname $f)

    b=$(basename $f)

    case $l_filter in

      "dir") echo $d;;

      "file") echo $f;;

      *) echo $f

    esac

  done

}
