Hi
The following error concerns a file in a folder which is maintained by
rdiff-backup itself. I never changed something therein. rdiff-backup
cannot recover itself. Each run of
rdiff-backup" --include-globbing-filelist rdiff_include_f_to_r.txt
F:/Daten R:/Daten
ends up with this error.
What can I do in order to fix this?
Txs in advance.
Heri
Copy from console (first three lines were written by my starter batch):
SOURCE_DIR: F:/Daten
DEST_DIR: R:/Daten
executing CMD_LINE: "C:\Program Files
(x86)\rdiff-backup-1.2.8\rdiff-backup" --include-globbing-filelist
rdiff_include_f_to_r.txt F:/Daten R:/Daten
Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.

I have not heard of this type of error before so I would tentatively
suggest that it is not the fault of rdiff-backup but some other problem
(filesystem corruption maybe?).
If this file is really missing and it is the *only* thing wrong with the
repository, you might be able to fix it just by recreating it (as it was
a nul file anyway) on the destination (this is for Windows command
prompt, with Linux or Cygwin you can use touch):
<nul (set/p z=)

Another possible clause of your difficulty, more intractable, is that
the path+name length for this 'missing' file is 272 characters - you may
be coming up against the 260 character limit for Windows paths - see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1880321/why-does-the-260-character-path-length-limit-exist-in-windows.
I don't of a way around this one except to say 'rdiff-backup *from*
Windows yes, but always rdiff-backup *to* Linux', which is probably not
much help in your situation. You could try physically mounting your R:
drive on a Linux system, copy the whole repo onto a Linux-based
filesystem (e.g. ext4), and then try doing a remote backup from the
Windows machine to the new repo on the Linux machine.
