Re: [rdiff-backup-users] bug/crash on read-only file in incremental backup

[Marco Perego]

Hi Andrew,

thanks for your contribution, but I am facing a problem in executing your binary:

C:\Backup\rdiff-backup>rdiff-backup-1.2.2-4gb-fix3.exe --version
rdiff-backup 1.2.2

C:\Backup\rdiff-backup>rdiff-backup-1.2.2pre3.exe --version
rdiff-backup 1.2.2pre3

C:\Backup\rdiff-backup>rdiff-backup-1.2.3pre1.exe --version
Impossibile eseguire il programma specificato.   <=====

C:\Backup\rdiff-backup>rdiff-backup-1.2.3pre2.exe --version
Impossibile eseguire il programma specificato.   <=====

C:\Backup\rdiff-backup>rdiff-backup.exe --version
rdiff-backup 1.2.2

As you can see I've also tested all the other Windows builds and, although they didn't solve my problem, they at least start executing while versions 1.2.3pre1 and 1.2.3pre2 does not.
The error message translated in english sounds like something as "The system cannot execute the specified program".

Here I have the same problem, backing up a Linux source (ext3) to a Windows destination (NTFS).

Does someone have compiled the win32 stand-alone binary meanwhile?

Hi Marco,

I have compiled a test release which includes Josh's patches for read-only files and Windows drive letters, as well as the patch for >4gb files.

You can download it from:
