Hello Sylvain, from my experience, version x.y.* are compatible. For example, 1.1.5 and 1.1.12 are compatible (even if it shows a warning), but are not compatible with version 1.0.x.
my fear is that a future version make all my backup format (stored on the disc, and not just the binaries) obsolete, but this didn't happend until now :-) cheers, Philippe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > > I tried using rdiff-backup for saving a directory from a computer (running > debian etch) on another computer (running debian sarge). rdiff-bakcup > complains that the two versions where not the same.
