Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Additional output from version 0.13.4

[phowell]

Hi

As far as I can see all the backup scripts are all exactly the same. 
There are about 15 of them in all and its only the one that produces 
this extra output. They all use rieserfs and many of them are using the 
same instance of samba where they are handling smb. The only difference 
I can see for the backup set that generates the extra output is that it 
spends a considerable amount of time transmitting to the host rdiff 
where as the other backup sets do not. Its almost as if it was having to 
start from scratch each time with the meta data... but why the remote 
should be transmitting to the host I cant think. I would have thought it 
would be the other way round.

When I get a bit of time to fiddle I will dump that backup set and start 
again and see if it continues to produce the output and a spend time 
transmitting.

thanks for the reply
