Hello All,
I have an rdiff-backup setup using version 0.12.7 on both endpoints
that has been chugging along unattended for almost 5 years now. I'd
like to replace one end with a new machine, and I'd like to use the
latest version. I've read numerous accounts of why using different
versions of rdiff-backup on each end is a bad idea. What I haven't
seen addressed, though, is whether the metadata used to recover a
previous version of a file (the rdiff-backup-data directory) is
compatible if <both> ends are upgraded.
Will this work?
Thanks,
-Daniel
