Re: [rdiff-backup-users] New Release: 1.2.1

[Curtis Osterhoudt]

Dear all, 

   I've just tried to run the latest rdiff-backup 1.2.1 on a WindowsXP 
machine, backing up to a linux server (via ssh). Though it's claimed to be 
backwards compatible, when run it complained that 
"Warning: Local version 1.2.1 does not match remote version 1.2.0.", and it's 
true that the linux server runs 1.2.0. 

   I'd love to try it out as a backup-to-remote-server possibility. Any 
recommendations?

             Regards, 
                             Curtis O.
