Re: [rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup problems (FC4 -> VFAT)

As a follow-up on my previous reply:

I tested what happens if I mess up the mtime of a file in the backup-archive. 
When restoring, the data of the metafile is used, so no worries there.

I also tried adding files to the archive and then restoring. The files I 
manually added are not restored, so no worries there either.

So it seems you don't have much to worry about, putting your backup on a 
partition which Windows can access, but still, FAT32... I wouldn't risk it... 
I've lost several gigabytes several times because of FAT32.
