Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/barman-1.0.0-py2.7.egg/barman/backup.py", line 384, in backup

    self.backup_start(backup_info)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/barman-1.0.0-py2.7.egg/barman/backup.py", line 711, in backup_start

    start_xlog, start_file_name, start_file_offset = self.server.pg_start_backup()

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Do you have an idea ?

Hi

I find in log of the primary server :

2012-08-29 13:48:16 PDT ERROR:  a backup is already in progress

so i stop this backup

select pg_stop_backup() ;

and restart my barman command .

it's OK :-)
