Hi,
What api is it talking about?
I tried adding "--api-version 201" to the command, but that just errored out.
Did you add it _before_ or _after_ the command (e.g. regress)? It belongs before
. Which error was it? Option unknown and a usage message?
KR, Eric
rdiff-backup --api-version 201 -v9 --print-statistics testingbackup
testingbackup-backup
usage: rdiff-backup [-h] [--api-version API_VERSION] [--current-time
CURRENT_TIME] [--force] [--fsync | --no-fsync]
[--null-separator] [--new | --no-new]
[--chars-to-quote CHARS] [--parsable-output]

{backup,calculate,compare,complete,info,list,regress,remove,restore,ser
ver,test,verify} ...
rdiff-backup: error: argument action: invalid choice: 'testingbackup'
(choose from 'backup', 'calculate', 'compare', 'complete', 'info',
'list', 'regress', 'remove', 'restore', 'server', 'test', 'verify')
But this works with api warning:
rdiff-backup -v9 --print-statistics testingbackup testingbackup-backup
WARNING: this command line interface is deprecated and will disappear,
start using the new one as described with '--new --help'.
