Correct. 1.1.15 and 1.2.0 are NOT compatible.

The error you are seeing is almost certainly because rdiff-backup is  
not executing properly on the remote host. Or, if it is, some other  
data is being returned by the login shell before rdiff-backup gets a  
chance to run.

Try:

$ ssh -C address@hidden nice -n15 /cygdrive/d/Hubbitus/Distributivs/ 
rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-1.2.1-win32/rdiff-backup.exe --version

and see what it returns. It should return a line which says "rdiff- 
backup 1.2.0" and nothing else.

I was just suggesting that you could use other SSH solutions on  
Windows such as the one from ssh.com or putty, etc.
