Windows to Linux works fine with the native binary, Linux to Windows is where I'm having problems. Is there any way to start the native windows client as a server and back up to it? I've tried using SSH, and I can run the native Windows client (as opposed to the Cygwin version), but it complains when I try to specify the drive letter.I guess you need an SSH server on the Windows machine. I had a free one installed but recently uninstalled it (as I use rdiff the more usual way: Windows -> Linux) and can't find it now. But here is another free one that looks ok: http://mobassh-en.mobatek.net/. I think port 22 would need to be open for TCP traffic, and you should make sure that the remote command (--remote-schema) contains the path to rdiff-backup.exe on the server (or that rdiff-backup.exe's location is in the Windows PATH variable). HTHTomorrow I'm going to try the BackupFromWindowsToLinux instructions, using a remote source and local destination. Hopefully I'll be able to script it so I can run a script from the Linux source and have the Windows destination initiate the rdiff-backup sequence with the native rdiff-backup binary.If I get it working smoothly, I'll make a BackupFromLinuxToWindows page on the wiki.- AustinOn Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 10:45 PM, Andrew Ferguson <address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden>> wrote:
