Did the names actually start with "~$"? Office creates these files when a file is used, i.e. someone is looking at it or editing it. Sometimes these files stay behind even though they're no longer used. Office is responsible for this, not rdiff-backup. Rdiff-backup merely sees that the file exists and makes a backup. -- Yves Bellefeuille <y...@storm.ca>
