Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Help how to restore a single file or directory on windows.

[Andrew Ferguson]

The -r (aka --restore-as-of) option requires a time. eg, "-r now"

As the error message says, please read the rdiff-backup manual:

http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup.1.html

Important sections for your problem include the section on Restoring  
and the section on Time Formats.
