[rdiff-backup-users] windows rdiff-backup --test-server & --restrict

[Davy Stoffel]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to test the --test-server switch with the Windows version
(1.2.8).

On the server side, i defined (trough authorized keys) "--restrict backup/".

On the windows, if i try to backup something  :

rdiff-backup.exe --remote-schema """C:\cbackup_test\plink.exe"" -2
-batch -P 22 -i ""C:\cbackup_test\private_key.ppk"" %s rdiff-backup
--server" --include "C:\\/test" --exclude "C:\\/**" C:\/
address@hidden::backup/

It's working correctly.

If i try the --test-server :

rdiff-backup.exe --remote-schema """C:\cbackup_test\plink.exe"" -2
-batch -P 22 -i ""C:\cbackup_test\private_key.ppk"" %s rdiff-backup
--server" --test-server address@hidden::backup/

Testing server started by:  "C:\cbackup_test\plink.exe" -2 -batch -P 22
-i "C:\cbackup_test\private_key.ppk" address@hidden
rdiff-backup --server

Server tests failed

If i remove the --restrict on the server side, the --test-server is
running fine.

Is this a bug with the Windows version when --restrict is enabled or i
miss something in my test ?


Thank you,
