Reporter has switched to another backup software.

Closing this now.

There's not been any substantive changes in the Fedora rdiff-backup packages in ages.

Is "fly-backup" a valid host to ssh?

Can you run it with -vv for more info?

You could try temporarily editing rdiff-backup/Main.py and see if that reveals any clues:

FYI, I suspect you would get a bigger audience if you posted your problem on the users mailing list (https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users). Then if you resolve it or find that it is not an rdiff-backup bug, post back here to the bug report.

I've been running rdiff-backup over an ssh connection of other hosts for quite some time, in a nightly cron task. All of a sudden, about a week or so ago, my rdiff-backup commands started failing as follows:

$ rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir --include /home --include /var --include /etc --include /root --include /usr/local --exclude /usr/local/tmp --exclude / fly-backup:://backup/fly
Fatal Error: Wrong number of arguments given.
See the rdiff-backup manual page for more information.

Any idea what's going on? I figure there's some Fedora update (this was under 16 and now 17 as well) that broke something that rdiff-backup uses. Pretty serious problem since I use rdiff-backup to back up my servers!

Thanks in advance!
