Hi,
after installing and setting up backup2l I would like to have a full backup. But every _first_ attempt to run a backup results in a very small (47kB) archive.

This is the output of a test run:

Jette:# backup2l -e
backup2l v1.4 by Gundolf Kiefer

Estimating full backup <all.1>...
/usr/sbin/backup2l: line 658: TMP.all.new: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
grep: TMP.all.new: No such file or directory
grep: TMP.all.new: No such file or directory
0 / 3941 file(s), 0 / 796 dir(s), 0 B / 80.8MB (uncompressed)
skipping: 0 file(s), 0 dir(s), 0 B (uncompressed)

Which file is backup2l missing - what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

  It seems that backup2l failed to create files in the backup archive directory. Of course, backup2l should print a better error message in this case.
  
  Can you verify if this was the problem?
