Hi everybody
I'm a user of rdiff-backup under Linux and I've tried today to set up a
similar configuration onto Windows. However, I've run into a difficulty
with an integer overflow error.
Some initial details first. I'm backing up from a local NTFS drive to a
remote ext3 drive. They are linked
I'd try putting quotes around the path of plink.exe. For example:
--remote-schema "\"c:\Program Files\Putty\plink.exe\"
%s rdiff-backup --server"

Thanks for your reply. I've already reviewed that Wiki page though. Is
there something on there that you wanted to draw my attention to? If
it's the public key authentication section, I have to say that I'm not
at all keen to switch to it if passwords should work.
The last few words at the e
There's nothing inherent in rdiff-backup that prevents password-based
authentication, but putty (and plink) are broken (in technical terms,
they print the password prompt to stdout instead of stderr). What I
ended up doing was building my own ssh implementation using paramiko.

Thanks for the information. Somebody has suggested it would be
simpler to use Cygwin instead for the native binary for SSH-based
tasks so I'll give that a try.
