Re: [rdiff-backup-users] IOError in backup.log

Hi Andrew:
Thanks for your reply.  I am aware of the incompatibility between 
versions. I've got 1.0.5 running on both  ends  (has to be - older 
Gentoo server is very fragile - no chance of upgrading). In fact the 
entire reason for this install is to support a backup from the Gentoo 
server. I also have another machine (or two) running v1.1.15 that I've 
done a separate install (of v1.1.15) for the same reason. I am in a 
school environment and we have limited resources for technology.
