Just spent an hour unsuccessfully testing rdiff-backup with an obvious and
EXTREMELY simple task...
Create a text file. Save it. Run rdiff-backup. Modify the text file. Save it.
Run rdiff-backup. Look at the two versions with a text editor.
I used the --no-compression argument, but can't seem to find a way to avoid the
the restoration process of the .diff version files, and just keep the versioned
text files as text files!
Am i missing somenthing, or do i have to go through a restore process to to
even take a peek at the text in two versions of a text file?
many thanks for all the work put in on the rdiff-backup project!
Jeff
