Re: [rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup restore crash

[Kareem Dana]

As an update, I just ran the rdiff-backup restore on the local computer,
so there is no network involved and I get the following error:

$ rdiff-backup -r now /backup/backup/bender/home/kcd/.transgaming 
.transgaming-new/

 Traceback (most recent call last):

Also, in my original email the command that I pasted was from when I ran
rdiff-backup on my tmp directory but the error I pasted was from when I
ran rdiff-backup on my .transgaming directory, so thats just a typo in my 
e-mail.

Thanks,
