rdiff-backup on dns-323
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone is using rdiff-backup (http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/) on the dns-323. Can we install the package natively or do we need to use the Debian env?
Thanks for any advice.

Rdiff-backup as well as rsnapshot (http://www.rsnapshot.org/) is much easier to get running in the debian env.

Re: rdiff-backup on dns-323
I have a DNS-323 with 2 WD 500g drives RAID 0. I am trying to find a way to use Rdiff-backup to do incremental backups to the DNS-323 over NFS mount from my Ubuntu linux desktop. So far, I have Funplug installed and the NFS mount seems to work fine and I am able to copy data to the DNS-323. Rdiff-backup copies files to the DNS-323 also - until this happens "OSError: [Errno 116] Stale NFS file handle: '/media/323_data/rdiff-backup.tmp.287' " then it stops. I have searched and searched for info on this "stale NFS handle" problem, one suggestion was the nolock option in fstab - this made no difference. Does anybody have any ideas - fstab mount options, rdiff-backup options or anything else that I can try to resolve this issue??
Thanks for any help.

Re: rdiff-backup on dns-323
caper - I have a setup that is something of the reverse of what you have.
The DNS-323 is the file server for several winXP clients (via samba).
I have a BuffaloTech Linkstation Pro (running Debian) that creates a
nightly backup of the DNS-323. The DNS-323 exports its file system
and the Linkstation Pro mounts this export via NFS. The Linkstation Pro
runs a cron rsnapshot job that creates a backup of the DNS-323, NFS mounted
filesystem, to an external hard drive, attached via USB, on the Linkstation Pro.
Perhaps you can mount the DNS-323 filesystem on the Ubuntu box and have
the Ubuntu box Rdiff-backup it self to the remote mounted DNS-323? This
might get around the "Stale NFS file handle" problem.
