Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Has anyone managed to run rdiff-backup on windows?

[Karjala]

cron doesn't work on my cygwin.

I created an /etc/cron.d/notepad file containing the following line:

* * * * *       Administrator   notepad

And nothing happens.

So I guess that cron doesn't work on my system.

Has anyone managed to automate rdiff-backup on a windows machine?

Please respond

Thanks,
