I would focus on backing up %USERPROFILE% with some exclusions to prevent backup It's meant to do data backup and not system. Maybe I just used wrong parameters? for backup I just executed the batch file with this content cd c:\ gf:/_rdiff/rdiff-backup --no-acls -v4 --include-globbing-filelist list.txt c: g:/_rdiffBAK @IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 (Echo Koncal brez napak) ELSE (Echo Koncal z NAPAKAMI!!!) @pause and list.txt have: c:/aaa/ c:/aaa_fotke/ c:/Documents and Settings/Slavko/Application Data/Thunderbird/  - ** And seem's to have problem with filenames longer than 256 characters too! I suggest you run rdiff-backup 3 times (having first created the backup subdirectories and made sure Thunderbird is not running): gf:/_rdiff/rdiff-backup --no-acls -v4 c:/aaa g:/_rdiffBAK/aaa gf:/_rdiff/rdiff-backup --no-acls -v4 c:/aaa_fotke g:/_rdiffBAK/aaa_fotke gf:/_rdiff/rdiff-backup --no-acls -v4 "c:/Documents and Settings/Slavko/Application Data/Thunderbird/" g:/_rdiffBAK/tbird The problem with filenames longer than 256 characters is a limitation of Windows, not a fault in rdiff-backup. You may be able to work around it - some info here. Dominic -- TimeDicer: Free File Recovery from Whenever
