[rdiff-backup-users] getting error while restoring

[Madan Kumar]

Hi all,

First of all I would like to thanks you all to provide me great support before.

I am able to take the backup as well as incremental using rdiff-backup.

I am using it on winXP and on vista(both stand alone), I have installed rdiff-backup with the help of CYGWIN.

(I have installed cygwin and rdiff-backup in C:\ drive)

 

Well I am able to restore the files form backup by running following command::

$ cp -a G:/Dest/win3.dat G:/source

Above command restore win3.dat in to source/ directory if it has deleted from source/ because Dest/win3.dat is the mirror of source/win3.dat.

Now if I run following command to get the same::

$ rdiff-backup -r now G:/Dest/win3.dat G:/source/

it give me error "Fatal Error: could not find rdiff-backup repository at G:/Dest/win3.dat"

 

In the case when I need to restore from latest backup I can execute first command.*(no problem).

 

But if I need to restore from the backup that of two days ago, then I will have to execute second command that is giving me the error.

 

 

 

 

Please provide me some guidelines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks
