My dad and I are trying to set up an across the internet backup solution using rdiff-backup. I run Linux, he runs Windows. I set up Cygwin so I could run the rdiff-backup server over SSH, but ran into an error where path names were too long (I understand this to be a limitation of Cygwin). Backing up from Windows to Linux seems to work fine, using the distributed rdiff-backup executable.
What version of rdiff-backup did you try? Cygwin or native? There's some code in 1.2.5 to try to continue in the face of 'path too long'- type errors.
Also, if you still have any tracebacks from from your errors, feel free to send them to me or the list.
