[rdiff-backup-users] Windows Vista - infinite recursion problem

[Stephen Rees]

I am trying to use rdiff-backup to backup my Windows Vista machine,
however, I keep getting stuck with Vista's infinitely recursed
directories.. rdiff-backup keeps digging down levels and it could be
left forever and never get anywhere.

For example, I am getting stuck within:
C:\Users\All Users\Application Data\Application Data\Application
Data\Application Data\........

It is worth nothing that the 'All Users' directory is not accessible
via normal methods.

The command I am using to run rdiff is:

C:\rdiff-backup>rdiff-backup.exe --exclude-symbolic-links --exclude-special-file
s -v5 --no-hard-links  C:/Users/ ./zoot

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated :)

Essentially I am after a simple way to do incremental backups of my
Vista box, and rdiff works great for my linux machines... if there is
a better solution for Vista, I would love to hear about it :)

Thanks,
~Stephen
