Yepp. "Services for Unix" isi mainly only a tool box.

nice job.


>rdiff-backup is win32->unix only at this stage (unix<->unix) is fine.

Wouldn't be "unisono" a tool (base) for (currently missing) restore?

To ease use and circumvent the first bloody steps and noses
i modifed the bat a bit:


rdiff-backup.bat
(It should be better named "rdiff-backup.cmd" as 
it will make no sense on a windows95 box, or?)



@echo off
@setlocal

set src=.
set address@hidden::/home/zoc/backups
if not "%1"=="" set src=%1
if not "%2"=="" set dst=%2

set PRIVATEKEYFILE=sloth.PPK

set RDIFF-PATH=%defaultpath%

set PYTHONHOME=%RDIFF-PATH%
set PYTHONPATH=%RDIFF-PATH%
set PATH=%RDIFF-PATH%\bin;%path%

pushd %RDIFF-PATH%


if not exist %PRIVATEKEYFILE% call :genkey


echo on
mount -m > oldmounts.bat

umount -A

mount -f -s -b %RDIFF-PATH% /

set PLINKOPT=-x -a -T

call oldmounts.bat

::if exist oldmounts.bat del oldmounts.bato
