By the way, in case you didn't know, Sourceforget uses rdiff-backup for
^^^^^^^^^^^^?
their backup strategy. Well done!

Thanks for the heads-up. I sent a message to the guy that set up the
Sourceforge system (I hope it won't start getting called
"Sourceforget" after they implement this new system). It should be
interesting to see how they use rdiff-backup.

When I was looking for full-featured hosting for rdiff-backup a few
years ago I considered applying to Sourceforge. However VA Linux was
one of the worst hit of the internet boom stocks
(http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=LNUX&t=my&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=) and I
predicted that Sourceforge would close down in a few months. I went
with Savannah, which I thought was a safer bet.

Savannah is good, but I was totally wrong about Sourceforge. Go
figure.

Ok, I'll take a stab at rewriting it. My perl is worse than your
python but I think I can handle it.


I checked in the first version into CVS, see:

http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-statistics?rev=1.1&root=rdiff-backup&view=markup

Hi Ben,

I'm trying this out and getting this error:

$ ./rdiff-backup-statistics \
--begin-time 2005-12-27T08:37:30-08:00 \
--end-time 2005-12-28T00:01:43-08:00 \
ashley-powerbook
Processing statistics from session 1 of 2
No files in iterator

All of my backups are using --null-separator, could that be the cause of the
problem.

Also, it would be nice if you could use the simply time formats for --begin-time
and --end-time, such as 4D, etc.

Regards,
Blair
