2) What is rdiff-backup --verify x:\dest
supposed to do? When I run it, I get these errors for many files in
my old bookmarks directory:
Warning: Cannot find SHA1 digest for file BIG/URL/2004 2/BBS
Documentary Trailers.url,
perhaps because this feature was added in v1.1.1
Hmm, I wonder if those files are empty? Can you check if they are size
0 bytes? Empty files don't give a message like that on Unix, but
Windows is a little different...
Are they Firefox URLs? or IE? (I'd like to recreate the problem.)
I've never used an older version of rdiff-backup. The files in
question were copied over.
Did you copy them over to the repository by hand? Or did rdiff-backup
copy them?
These error messages only show up on the console when I do --verify,
I don't see them mentioned in any logs.
Correct. The SHA1 digests exist to verify the written file, both
during a restore (when it would complain if the digest didn't match,
or didn't exist), and during a --verify operation (which verifies the
repository against the digests).
