Re: cross-platform backup tool Fwd: [rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup] Pre-release v2.1.2b2 - 2nd beta v2.1.2b2 just fixing Windows

Hello Eric, Thank you very much for the time and effort put into this project. It's nice to see rdiff-backup moving forward. I will continue to test this new beta version with Rdiffweb and Minarca which should be 100% compatible with this new version soon. On Fri, Sep 16, 2022 at 7:41 AM

cross-platform backup tool Updating Wikipedia Page ?

Hello, I'm fishing to get a professional writer to update the Wikipedia page related to Rdiff-backup and possibly create a new page for Rdiffweb too. Is anybody interested in this project ? Or maybe you may put me in contact with someone that could do the job? -- *ATTENTION: En vacance du 6

How to save Outlook mailbox ?

Hello, I'm using rdiff-backup on Windows 10 and I want to use it to backup the ".ost" files containing the Outlook mailbox. To my understanding Outlook is locking these files exclusively and that prevents rdiff-backup to copy the file seamlessly. In fact, when rdiff-backup tries to backup these

v1.2.8 on Debian bookworm

Hello, For those interested, as I need to support old and obsolete versions of rdiff-backup for backward compatibility for my customer, I've started generating Debian packages of rdiff-backup for old and recent versions of Debian. I'm keeping version 1.2.8 and 2.0.5 for Debian stretch, buster,

I'm Forwarding your conversation to rdiff-backup mailing list. > From Bob Nichol's answer (yesterday) I understand that restoring a given version of a file is by a reverse mechanism, that is, rdiff-backup starts with the latest (most recent) version of a file and then goes backwards until it

Re: cross-platform backup tool Planning for milestone 2.4.0

Hiu Eric, Thanks alot for all the good work you have done so far on rdiff-backup. It was about time to have someone dedicated like you are to the project. As for version 2.2.0 I have to re-test, but I've faced a compilation issue on MacOS with the latest pip version. I had to revert back to the

Re: Can I interrupt an rdiff-backup backup?

Hello Mike, Rdiff-backup is resilient to failure and will recover if the backup process gets interrupted. To help you understand why nothing happens when you start the backup, you might want to increase the verbosity of rdiff-backup by using "-v" something like "-v 5" or "-v 6" should help you

Re: cross-platform backup tool Is anybody actively testing the beta version?

I have yet to build and test on MacOS. I'm out of time lately so I can't give you an estimate. I've tested the Rdiffweb against that version and it's working fine. I needed to adjust some stuff on restore since the output change a little bit. On Sat, Nov 5, 2022 at 11:21 AM EricZolf wrote: >

Re: Survey: compatibility vs speed of rdiff-backup development

At that point, the best approach to keep you free from the old code and move forward would be to "support" v2.x for a while and start working on a v3.x version that will not be backward compatible and will require a migration. And allow packager to install them side by side. To reduce the

Re: version 2.2 --remove-older-than behavior changed

The only suggestion I have is to adjust the command line interface to change the behavior of the return code. Something like: rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 30d --ignore-warning ? Or the other way around: rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 30d --error-if-nothing-is-removed ? Other command line

Re: rdiff-backup and computer suspend

In Minarca, which uses rdiff-backup under the hood, I'm using wakepy ( https://pypi.org/project/wakepy/) to keep the computer awake during the execution of the backup. I see it has a command line interface. So it might be possible to use it in a bash script. I think Wakepy is calling a systemd
