Hi Ben et al, I am using rdiff-backup-1.1 on SuSE9.3 Pro/ext3. Backing up to NTFS/win2k3 via CIFS. I am not using pyxattr or pyxattr. The source dir is local.
Thanks in advance. stealth3:/mnt/stage01/backups/test # rdiff-backup -v9 /home/atworkowski/tmp/ /mnt/stage01/backups/test/ Tue Oct 25 10:23:27 2005 Unable to import module xattr.
