Package: backintime-gnome
Version: 1.0.6-1
Severity: normal

Hi,
I just tried to make a backup, based on an older snapshot from November.
On the first run backintime told me about an update to the config
because of a version change, afterwards it failed with an rsync error.

The backintime log says:

========== Take snapshot (profile 1): Do 31 Mär 2011 14:36:17 CET ==========

[E] Error: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
[E] Konnte Snapshot 31.03.2011 14:36:17 nicht erstellen !!!

When I add a fresh profile with similar settings, backintime works fine.

The backup target disk is on USB:

/dev/sdg1 on /media/Backup type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)

A manual rsync runs through with this error message, but that is probably
not related?

rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1060) [sender=3.0.7]

Thanks for your work!
