I am using rdiff-backup (v1.2.
in Windows XP. The source and destination both resides in external usb drives on NTFS. Did manage to get the initial backup as well as few incremental ones, but then the following error was thrown. :-

I saw a similar error was reported sometime back in 2006 but I guess this has been fixed in 2009. Anyway since the folder "Lionel Richie" on the destination had the "read only" attribute on it I tried to disable using attrib, but it did not get removed and backup also did not work. Since I am using rdiff-backup on windows I thought may be the linux version is better so I tried with Ubuntu (again v1.2.
. Then it did throw the following error. Please note using ubuntu I used the same source and destination.

Warning: File system no longer needs quoting, but we will retain for backwards compatibility.
Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
Warning: Extended Attributes file not found
Warning: Could not restore file DVD 1/Celine Dion/Celine Dion & R Kelly - I�m Your Angel.mp3!
A regular file was indicated by the metadata, but could not be
constructed from existing increments because last increment had type
None. Instead of the actual file's data, an empty length file will be
created. This error is probably caused by data loss in the
rdiff-backup destination directory, or a bug in rdiff-backup

I am new to rdiff-backup as well Linux. So I would really like to see this working on Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Suneth.
