The backup repository looks right---the increments go in reverse, so you get a .missing when you make a new file, not when you delete a file. > root# /sw/bin/rdiff-backup > stunningillusion.wmv.2005-12-12\;08402\;05803\;05803-08\;05800.snapshot > /Users/ckausel/Desktop/temp/ This should work... > 7) the temp directory on my desktop instantly vanished > without a trace and no sign of a restored > stunningillusion.wmv anywhere. Hmm, can you try it using the other restore syntax, as in: /sw/bin/rdiff-backup -r 1M /Volumes/.Backup/.rdiff_daily/Users/ckausel/Desktop/stunningillusion.wmv stunningillusion.wmv and see if it works then? > by the way: I noticed some interesting stuff in this log.

Yes, there's a bug which should be fixed in 1.1.4, which I'll release soon (once I get this KeyError stuff fixed). > Mon Dec 12 09:19:45 2005 Regular copying () to > /Users/ckausel/Desktop/rdiff-backup.tmp.1 > Mon Dec 12 09:19:45 2005 Removing directory > /Users/ckausel/Desktop/temp Hmm, this looks like a time error, where rdiff-backup is "restoring" the current (deleted) file. BTW that stunningillusion.wmv.2005-12-12\;08402\;05803\;05803-08\;05800.snapshot should just be a copy of the original stunningillusion file, so if you want to restore that file before you get rdiff-backup working, you can just copy that where you want it. -- Ben Escoto
