Hello,
I have a Linux box running rdiff-backup 0.12.7 and a Solarix box w/ 0.13.4.
Attempting to pull data from Linux onto Solaris fails (and so does other way
round too). --test-server returns warning but says "may work":
solaris# rdiff-backup --test-server user < at > linux::/home .
Warning: Local version 0.13.4 does not match remote version 0.12.7.
Testing server started by: ssh -C user < at > linux rdiff-backup --server
Server may work, but there is a version mismatch:
Local version: 0.13.4
Remote version: 0.12.7
But doing an actual backup, I get "Truncated header string.." error :(
solaris# rdiff-backup user < at > linux::/home/user .
Warning: Local version 0.13.4 does not match remote version 0.12.7.

--------------------------------
Firstly does this combination of version numbers designed to work together?
If yes, any idea what might be going wrong? if anyone needs more info (e.g.
output with -v9) let me know.
If no, why? I thought as long as we are at same/compatible level of
librsync (>= 0.9.6) things should work. no?
Thanks
