rdiff-bckup has changed its communication protocol between versions 1 and 2, so it is necessary to have compatible versions of rdiff-backup at both ends of an rdiff-backup over a network, and a version 2 beowulf backport is available for rdiff for those who need to bridge rdiff-backup between older and newer systems.
I have used the backport to achieve this network-protocol compatibility. What I would like to know: Has the file format for the rdiff-backup metadata changed between versions 1 and 2 in any incompatible way? I'm having trouble with backing up using version 2 to a version 1 backup directory. I am wondering whether this is becuse of an incompatibility between the backup file formats, or because the backup has become corrupt by other means. I would expect rdiff-backup to detect old backup formats and deal with them, but then, I would have expected rdiff-backup to deal with old networking protocols as well. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
