>/Cygwin currently contains version 1.2.8-6 of rdiff-backup. Based on
what I see at https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/releases,
1.2.8 is about 11 years old (you'll have to click "Show 7 other tags),
although it appears there were no releases for 10 years. There has,
however been some recent activity, and version 2.0,0 was released on
March 15th. Would it be possible to update cygwin to version 2.0.0 of
rdiff-update? /
I have updated rdiff-backup to 2.0.0 and pushed the new package as a
TEST release (since I don't use rdiff-backup anymore). Please test and
report back if you find any problems. I'll plan to promote it to
official status in a couple weeks unless you have problems.

Thanks for doing the update David. I upgraded to rdiff-backup-2.0.0-1
and found that running "rdiff-backup --help" produced
Exception 'name 'local' is not defined' raised of class '<class
'NameError'>':

Attempting a real use of rdiff-backup gave a similar result. Looking at
the rdiff-backup source in github as well as the python 3.6 docs, it
looks you added line 406 in Main.py and I think it has a typo. "local"
should be "locale".
BTW, I was playing around with rdiff-backup 1.2.8-6 a couple days ago,
and while it seemed to work fine when the destination was on a local
drive, I couldn't figure out how to get it to work when the destination
is a network share If I specify the destination as
'//192.168.1.250/finance-backup/finance.rdiff-backup' I get:
Fatal Error: Unable to create directory
/192.168.1.250/finance-backup/finance.rdiff-backup
but "mkdir //192.168.1.250/finance-backup/finance.rdiff-backup" works fine.
If I specify the destination as
'\\192.168.1.250\finance-backup\finance.rdiff-backup' I get:

Would you have any suggestions about how to put the output on a network
share?
Also, if you don't use rdiff-backup any more, have you found something
you like better?
