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.

Sébastien,
I haven't followed this new feature that closely, as don't do HFS+ to HFS+
backups, rather I backup from a OS X box to a Linux box, so this issue doesn't
affect me.
I do know that there was a discussion on this recently on the rdiff-backups
mailing list, where they are working out some of these issues.

Look for any of the threads from Kevin Horton, as he's been the main person
driving this work.
Sorry, couldn't of been of more help.
Regards,
Blair
