[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup completes without errors, but then have a corrupt archive...

A few notes after some testing... The Native windows version doesn't exhibit the same symptoms. After backing up the same tree to the same location, a -l lists Found 0 increments: Current Mirror ... Which is what I would expect. --- This is the error I get with the cygwin version $

One more note, if it makes any difference. --- Under cygwin, it will continue to make diffs, and show multiple increments in the rdiff-backup-data directory. (i.e. It won't complain about an incomplete backup, and try to regress the state. It will continue to make additional diffs, but then choke

Does rdiff-backup need the use compatible timestamps option on the -l? Or at least override-chars? Is it possible that the other two options have figured it out but the cygwin port hasn't caught on when you try for -l ? Can you upgrade to the development version? The other option would be can you

Hello. I'd like to do the following: I have two computers on which I work. I'd like to sync some directories on both of these computers, so that both of them always have the latest version of the files I'm working on. I didn't find any option in rdiff-backup that updates files only; is it

Hi Nathan, Thanks so much for doing the testing. I had not expected those results. Of course, the more interesting test is when you do a backup in which there are dozens of changes scattered across the files. That is where the rsync algorithm is supposed to be helpful -- it trades

Greg, As Jason suggested, I would try using the 1.3.3 version. That version has the new --use-compatible-timestamps option which should clear up your trouble. I'll try and look into whether it makes sense to clean this up on Cygwin in 1.2.x. As I've mentioned before, I don't think the
