I am using rdiff-backup to backup my laptop on a PowerMac running
10.3. I use the --override-chars-to-quote '' option, as suggested
on fink-users a few weeks ago. It used to work fine.
I have upgraded to rdiff-backup-1.1.0-3 (10.4-transitional/
unstable), and I am now getting the following message:
Fatal Error: New quoting requirements!
The quoting chars this session needs (^A-Za-z0-9_ -.) do not match
the repository settings () listed in
server.domain.edu/rdiff-backup-data/chars_to_quote
This may be caused when you copy an rdiff-backup repository from a
normal file system onto a windows one that cannot support the same
characters, or if you backup a case-sensitive file system onto a
case-insensitive one that previously only had case-insensitive ones
backed up onto it.
Do I need to remove the option ? BTW what this option does
exactly ? It is not documented in rdiff-backup man page. Is it
specific to MacOSX ? Maybe some UsageNotes in the Fink package
would help here.
I'd recommend you revert to rdiff-backup-1.0.1 for now. V1.1.0 has
some issues on OS X when working with backups created by older
versions. I've been working with the author, trying various patches
etc, but we're not there yet. V1.1.0 does seem to work OK if you
create a new backup with that version. But the author will be
tweaking it to improve how it works with OS X, so I wouldn't be
confident to use it as a backup solution right now
The following should work to revert if you want:
fink remove rdiff-backup
fink install rdiff-backup-1.0.1
