Hi Luc
Why not just use this command:
rdiff-backup /cygdrive/t/data luc@jana::/smb/backup/armand
If this doesn't work, maybe there is a problem running rdiff-backup
to a samba-mounted volume on the rdiff-backup server? Try backing up
to e.g. luc@jana::/home/armand/backup
Also if the destination is Windows-based this can cause problems -
generally rdiff-backup is more reliable backing up to Linux.
I use the rdiff-backup.exe program (which doesn't require Cygwin,
though I do use Cygwin too) for backups from Windows.

Hi,
as a beginner, I'm probably missing something...
I'm trying to backup data under t:\data from my cygwin windows machine
(called "armand") to a Debian server (called "jana").
I created a file `rdiff-backup-to-jana.sh` with one line:
rdiff-backup --include-globbing-filelist include.lst \
/cygdrive luc@jana::/smb/backup/armand
Another file `include.lst` contains two lines:
/cygdrive/t/data/**
- **
I run it like this from a Windows command prompt:
T:\data\path>bash rdiff-backup-to-jana.sh
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rdiff_backup/SetConnections.py:148:
DeprecationWarning: os.popen2 is deprecated. Use the subprocess module.
stdin, stdout = os.popen2(remote_cmd)
luc@jana's password:
T:\data\path>
That is, it asks for a password, then works some time and everything
seems okay. On jana it has created a directory /smb/backup/armand
containing one subdirectory rdiff-backup-data. But I cannot believe that
this is a backup of my data because it is only 68KB
luc@jana:/smb/backup$ du -h armand
4.0K armand/rdiff-backup-data/increments
64K armand/rdiff-backup-data
68K armand
luc@jana:/smb/backup$
I guess that it is just the extra reverse diffs. But where is the copy
of my data? What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any hints.
Luc
