I want to use winwos rdiff-backup-1.2.6 on a windows machine to
backup my C:\ drive to a unix machine
In the C:\rdiff-backup-1.2.6 directory created at install of the Windows
version of rdiff-backup-1.2.6, I have put also my files
privkeypcinf56 (my private key) and
plink.exe (from the PuTTY software)
I first tested out that I could login passwordless on the remote
backup server. (OK)
I created a batch file containing:
c:
cd \rdiff-backup-1.2.6
rdiff-backup.exe -v5 --print-statistics --remote-schema
"plink.exe -i privkeypcinf56.ppk %%s rdiff-backup --server"
c:\ [email protected]::/home/backup/pcinf56 >rdiffbu.out
The third line is one long line (but probably here broken over several
lines due to the mail program)
When running the batch file from the DOS prompt, I get
in my output file rdiffbu.out (standard output):
Using rdiff-backup version 1.2.6
Executing plink.exe -i privkeypcinf56.ppk [email protected]

and on the screen (standard error)
Sending back exception Path: c:/CHANGELOG.txt

etc...
Fatal Error: Lost connection to the remote system
All that error output doesn't clarify my anything about what is going on...
The file c:\CHANGELOG.txt mentionned in the output does nog exist
(in c:\rdiff-backup-1.2.6 directory there is one, but part of the
distribution)
What is wrong and how to remedy ?
