Hello,
I'm backing up my OS X box to a Linux box with rdiff-backup 1.1.0 and using a
command line like:
$ rdiff-backup -b --override-chars-to-quote '' dir [EMAIL PROTECTED]::dir
The first time I do this, the backup succeeds, but the next time I run the exact
same command, I get this failure:
Fatal Error: New quoting requirements!
The quoting chars this session needs (A-Z;) do not match
the repository settings () listed in
dir/rdiff-backup-data/chars_to_quote
This may be caused when you copy an rdiff-backup repository from a
normal file system onto a windows one that cannot support the same
characters, or if you backup a case-sensitive file system onto a
case-insensitive one that previously only had case-insensitive ones
backed up onto it.
Traceback (most recent call last):

rdiff_backup.connection.ConnectionReadError: Truncated header string (problem
probably originated remotely)
Should I stop using the --override-chars-to-quote ''? I would rather not see
quoted characters on the Linux box in case I want to just cd around there and
pull a file back by hand, as the quoted characters make it harder.
Regards,
Blair
