Hi, I love the rdiff-backup concept and design. However, I have hit a couple of problems on windows:
I am using it to backup true-crypt volumes which are large binary files whose date and size does not change. 1. If date and size do not change, then rdiff-backup assumes the file is unchanged. There seems to be no way to force it to check a file (I vaguely recall rsync *does* have a parameter to say 'force file data check'. 2. Large file support does not seem to be there. The file I am using is 12GB in size and rdiff-backup dies (eventually) with an illegal seek. Are these things that can be changed easily? Parameters in the build? Or are they hard limits?
