My Wordpress appliance has been backing up fine until three days ago... then I noticed no backups so tried to do one manually and recevied the following error:
root@wordpress /# tklbam-backup

Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried the advice from this post, which didn't work: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/support/20120202/back-failed-no-such-f...
I restored a snapshot from the last time a backup worked, but I'm still getting the same problem. I can restore an even earlier backup, but that would mean loosing quite a bit of work going to a snapshot that is a week old.
If anyone has some ideas on what could be going wrong, or how to provide more data on the error it would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure...
I would have thought that clearing the TKLBAM cache would have made it work out what files needed to be backed up again thus eliminating the issue of it trying to back up files/folders that no longer exist (the folder that it seems to be erroring on is a unsent/deferred email cache).
But I do know that TKLBAM was recently upgraded so you could try ugrading to the new version:
And see how that goes...
Another thing that perhaps you could try is adding an override for that location (i.e. exclude it - see the TKLBAM docs). Although it will mean that if unsent mail exists in that folder it will never be backed up...
