+This option quotes characters not allowable on windows, and does not
+try to preserve ownership, hardlinks, or permissions on the
+destination side.  It is appropriate when backing up a normal unix
+file system to a windows one such as VFS, or a file system with
+similar limitations.  Because metadata is stored in a separate regular
+file, this option does not prevent all data from being restored.

+.B --windows-restore
+This option turns on windows quoting, but does not disable
+permissions, hard linking, or ownership.  Use this when restoring from
+an rdiff-backup directory on a windows file system to a unix file
+system.
