Re: [rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup completes without errors, but then have a corrupt archive...

Greg,

As Jason suggested, I would try using the 1.3.3 version. That version  
has the new --use-compatible-timestamps option which should clear up  
your trouble.

I'll try and look into whether it makes sense to clean this up on  
Cygwin in 1.2.x. As I've mentioned before, I don't think the Cygwin  
version is worth focusing on since the native Windows version will do  
a better job: it simply understands more NTFS data, including ACLs,  
which aren't properly available in Cygwin.

Isn't it possible for you to call out the native Windows version from  
your Cygwin scripts??


regards,
Andrew
