[rdiff-backup-users] Backup Problems

[Aaron Davies]

I'm having trouble with a remote backup, and I have no idea what's  
wrong. The source is an OS X 10.4 box running rdiff-backup 0.12.8 and  
the destination is an OS X 10.2 box running rdiff-backup 0.12.?. The  
output at -v5 follows:

Executing ssh -C address@hidden rdiff-backup --server
Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
