I used the --no-compression argument, but can't seem to find a way to

keep the versioned text files as text files!
Am i missing somenthing, or do i have to go through a restore process to to
even take a peek at the text in two versions of a text file?
I'm afraid you do. Rdiff-backup uses rdiff for storing differences between
versions. Nothing else. The only way to restore old versions (that I
know) is rdiff-backup -r.
If you want to store complete copies of old versions, then I'm afraid you
need a different tool. Perhaps dirvish?
Cheers, Chris.
