Hi
version (from direcrory names)
Rdiff-backup = rdiff-backup-0.13.4
librsync = librsync-0.9.6
cygwin = lib.cygwin-1.5.10-i686-2.3
Each time I run the backup it fails. I remove the rdiff-backup-data and
try again....
$ rdiff-backup /cygdrive/c/111 /cygdrive/c/1b

Fatal Error: Bad rdiff-backup-data dir on destination side
The rdiff-backup data directory
/cygdrive/c/1b/rdiff-backup-data
exists, but we cannot find a valid current_mirror marker. You can
avoid this message by removing the rdiff_backup_data directory;
however any data in it will be lost.
Probably this error was caused because the first rdiff-backup session
into a new directory failed. If this is the case it is safe to delete
the rdiff_backup_data directory because there is no important
information in it.
I have compiled the librsync and installed rdiff-backup and everything
seemed to work ok. I assume it has all compiled ok.
The rdiff-backup-data directory is created and the chars-to-quote and
the backup log files are created.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I have use rdiff-backup on our Linux machines for about 18 months both
local and remote and am so thankful I have been! Thanks to everyone
involved in rdiff-backup!
Peter
