[rdiff-backup-users] bug/crash on read-only file in incremental backup

2008-11-14 Thread Philip Warner

Use vshadow + dosdev to assign the snapshot to a drive letter. Then you can run rdiff-backup on that snapshot drive You'll find some handy scripts by googling heres the main one I followed http://blogs.msdn.com/adioltean/archive/2006/09/18/761515.aspx HTH Ryan Dom wrote: Quoting Chris
