Hi All
I'm having some troubles restoring to a machine across the network
Using rdiff-backup 0.13-4 on both the server and client
I have a a lot of successful backups of the machine:
rdiff-backup -l user < at > 10.0.0.1::backup
user < at > 10.0.0.1's password:
Warning: ownership cannot be changed on filesystem at backup/rdiff-backup-data

Don't assume that open-source software is inherently insecure because crackers
can see the source code. History shows that crackers don't need source code
to find exploits !
