Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Status of native Windows port?

[Mico Siahaan]

Hi,

I built rdiff-backup 1.2 python binary module for Windows using MinGW. The 
module can be downloaded here: 
http://www.intermatik.co.id/download/ftp/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-1.2.0.win32-py2.5.exe
 .You need python 2.5 to make it work.

I also tried to make standalone rdiff-backup distribution with that module so 
it can be used without python installed. The result: 
http://www.intermatik.co.id/download/ftp/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-1.2-setup.exe

I haven't tried them many times. It just work for me: to backup my files to 
other directory (never try them to make backup to remote server).

regards,
