Hi,


What api is it talking about?
I  tried adding "--api-version 201" to the command, but that just errored out.

Did you add it _before_ or _after_ the command (e.g. regress)? It belongs before
. Which error was it? Option unknown and a usage message?

KR, Eric



   rdiff-backup --api-version 201 -v9 --print-statistics testingbackup
   testingbackup-backup
   usage: rdiff-backup [-h] [--api-version API_VERSION] [--current-time
   CURRENT_TIME] [--force] [--fsync | --no-fsync]

   (choose from 'backup', 'calculate', 'compare', 'complete', 'info',

   But this works with api warning:
