Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Again about Windows and Linux

[Josh Nisly]

The post that you saw was discussing modifications to rdiff-backup to 
support unicode on Windows. Those changes have been made to 
rdiff-backup, but they need lots of testing. I've posted a new testing 
version of rdiff-backup here: 
http://www.midwestdatastorage.com/rdiff-backup-1.3.4-unicode.exe.

Could you please try this version and report back your results?

Thanks,
JoshN
