Native support for the Windows +environment is quite new in rdiff-backup. Please read the manual page, FAQ and +the Wiki thorougly. + +To install the provided binary, simply copy rdiff-backup.exe to someplace in +your PATH. Everything is included in the binary (including Python) for local +operation. For remote operation, you will need to install a Windows SSH +program. You will also need to install rdiff-backup on the remote system(s). + +ADDITIONAL ISSUES: + +Currently, rdiff-backup's --include and --exclude options do not support +Windows paths with \ as the directory separator. Instead, it is necessary to +use / which is the Unix directory separator. However, you will need to run +rdiff-backup from the same directory as the source of your backup, eg: + +cd c:\ +rdiff-backup.exe --include "c:/My Stuff" --exclude "c:/**" c:/ c:/Backup + +will work to backup "c:\My Stuff" to "c:\Backup", but: + +cd "c:\My Stuff" +rdiff-backup.exe --include "c:/My Stuff" --exclude "c:/**" c:/ c:/Backup + +will not work. + + +TROUBLESHOOTING: + +If you have everything installed properly, and it still doesn't work, +see the enclosed FAQ.html, the web page at http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org, +the Wiki at: http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org, and/or the mailing list. You can +subscribe to the mailing list at: +http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users + +Rdiff-backup manual (Unix man page): +http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup.1.html + +Recommended Wiki entries: +http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php/BackupFromWindowsToLinux + +You can also try searching the mailing list archives: +http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/ |
