hi edoardo,
i've seen the same behavior. calling rdiff-backup from the "restore
host" like shown in the examples works for me:
rdiff-backup -r 10D host.net::/remote-dir/file /tmp/file
http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/examples.html
but this is not always possible or at least the wanted way to restore
files imho. my backup server "pulls" backup from all my hosts and so
only the backup host has ssh public key access to all servers - not the
servers to my backup server. this is more secure because my backup
server does backup internal and external hosts and i dont want to allow
access to my backup server from outside. also its easier to manage
backup jobs this way.
so maybe we should file a bug report if none exists already?
regards
heiko

Hello all, I'm trying to execute rdiff-backup this way:
rdiff-backup -r now local_backup_dir/some_dir
remote_host::/some_dir.old
for some unspecified reason this command do not restore the backup
in
somedir.old, as I expected, and simply complete it's task without
errors or warnings and without restoring files.
I didn't find anything on web about restoring to remote directory,
is
this possible? Or is possible only with local directories??
Thanks
Best regards
Edoardo
