I use rdiff-backup and love it, but I'm challenged by what I think is a version mismatch issue.
My central rdiff-backup server has version 1.9.1b0. Now I need to backup a Debian system and this system and even the latest ( https://packages.debian.org/buster/rdiff-backup ) uses 1.2.8-7. When I attempt to run the test command: `rdiff-backup --test-server example.com::/ignore` I get the error: Couldn't start up the remote connection by executing ssh -C example.com rdiff-backup --server Remember that, under the default settings, rdiff-backup must be installed in the PATH on the remote system. See the man page for more information on this. This message may also be displayed if the remote version of rdiff-backup is quite different from the local version (1.9.1b0). When I do manually run `ssh -C example.com <r...@jalapeno.usersys.redhat.com> rdiff-backup --server` it does launch the server and manual ssh and run rdiff-backup does show it's on the path. So I've concluded I have a version mismatch. Do you agree that is my issue? So I went to manually install it, but the downloads page takes me to https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/releases which shows a 10 year gap and there isn't a version < 2.0 that I can see there. How do I install a version like 1.9.1b0 on Debian? Thank you! Brian -- Brian Bouterse
