Actually, the commands are identical. "Tage", "semajne" and "monate" mean daily, weekly, and monthly (in Esperanto). The difference is in how often the backups are made and how long they're kept. Daily backups are made every day and are kept for a week, weekly backups are made once a week and are kept for a month, and monthly backups are made once a month and are kept for a year. It's a way to compromise between having old backups while acknowledging the limited disk space available. The commands are (for example): rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 7D --force [email protected]::/data/savkopio/rdiff-backup/financo/tage ; rdiff-backup -v5 --exclude [several directories] --include [several directories] --exclude /cygdrive/c/'**' /cygdrive/c [email protected]::/data/savkopio/rdiff-backup/financo/tage I've since found the page https://dadhacker.blogspot.com/2013/03/getting-rdiff-backup-to-work-with.html , where you're mentioned, and I'll try the suggestion it makes, which is to modify /etc/fstab (in Cygwin on the Windows computer).
