Hi, I have some questions about these changes:

Or alternately, how will it work in the other direction? I.e., will the two versions be able to work properly together? Also, will I be able to restore from older backups on incrementals? I've got a year of incrementals for each system. It would suck if there were a flag day where those incrementals stopped working, or if I had to start over from scratch and lose a year's worth of history. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 [email protected] www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
