I will release 1.2.5 shortly so that we see better error messages.
After that, feel free to try again, and we can see what went wrong.
Hi Andrew
When I run it with 1.2.5 I get the error message below, I hope this
helps you some more (note that despite the message, the file
'archives/mydocs/meetings.docx' does exist in the archive).

Hi Dominic,
Yes, this is helpful. It looks to me like you do not have SSH
installed in your %PATH% on your Windows box.
At that point, rdiff-backup is trying to run this command:
"ssh -C 192.168.100.125 rdiff-backup --server"
and failing. If you open a DOS prompt and type that command, and it
works, then something is strange. It looks like you need the --remote-
schema option. This wiki page discusses using plink.exe as the SSH
replacement on Windows: http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php/BackupFromWindowsToLinux
Admittedly, the error message could be much better. :-)
Andrew
