Hello, Could you provide the full logs of rdiff-backup -v9 C:\Users\retti\Desktop\4H bu@backuppi::/home/bu/drive/4H
From memory, rdiff-backup is not supporting "\" as path separator. You must replace them by "/". I know using rdiff-backup directly on windows is not very easy. You might be interested on a project I'm slowly working on named Minarca. As of now, I'm only offering the service to my customer, but I plan to open source the project in the near future. -- Patrik Dufresne Service Logiciel inc. http://www.patrikdufresne.com <http://patrikdufresne.com/>/ 514-971-6442 130 rue Doris St-Colomban, QC J5K 1T9 On Fri, Jun 7, 2019 at 6:38 PM Dean Rettig <retti...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am a long time windows / C# developer and recently became interested in > using a Raspberry Pi as a network backup server for my home network.
