[rdiff-backup-users] Win32 Module

[Shohn Trojacek]

I had a job setup to periodically backup a directory - everything worked fine for at least two weeks, but then it started having problems (see below).

The rdiff-backup binary seems to work with other directories on the same system, but fails on the corporate records directory. This may be a bug related to either the number of files in this directory  or perhaps the size of certain files.


Please advise.
