[rdiff-backup-users] feedback on packaged cygwin rd-backup

[Matt Wilkie]

Hi Dave,

> please let me know how you go with that package. I have had very
> little feedback.

WRT rdiff-backup0.13.4w3.exe:

rdiff-backup.bat: had to add %RDIFF-PATH% as well as %RDIFF-PATH%\bin to
path so that cygwin1.dll could be found.

I have so far not been able to get it to work at all. What follows is a 
sample session from windows cmd prompt:

cd /c D:\temp

set RDIFF-PATH=c:\rdiff-backup
set PYTHONHOME=%RDIFF-PATH%
set PYTHONPATH=%RDIFF-PATH%

set PATH=%RDIFF-PATH%\bin;%RDIFF_PATH%

mount -m > oldmounts.bat
umount -A
mount -f -s -b %RDIFF-PATH% /

python2.3.exe -S %RDIFF-PATH%\rdiff-backup -v9 /cygdrive/d/Imagery ./trytwo

Mon Feb 23 16:04:06 2004  Fatal Error: Bad rdiff-backup-data dir on 
destination
side

The rdiff-backup data directory
trytwo/rdiff-backup-data
exists, but we cannot find a valid current_mirror marker.  You can
avoid this message by removing the rdiff_backup_data directory;
however any data in it will be lost.

Probably this error was caused because the first rdiff-backup session
into a new directory failed.  If this is the case it is safe to delete
the rdiff_backup_data directory because there is no important
information in it.
