[Box Backup] Boxi and Win32 Port Problem

[Nick Knight]

Ah that bit I didn't notice!

The win32 port uses a named pipe for communicating over with the
bbackupdctl - all other versions use unix sockets (which are not
available in non-unix situations) you can't mix and match.

It is on my todo list to pull in boxi somehow - any help????

Hi Andreas,

Boxi is not tested with any bbackupd other than the one it's distributed

with. In particular, I suspect that it's not yet compatible with with=20
native win32 port of Box Backup, because of the difference in file path=20
formats and the different type of control socket. I strongly recommend
you=20
use the bbackupd that comes with Boxi.

Having said that, I don't think this is your problem in this case. Is=20
bbackupd running? What output do you get from "strace bbackupctl"? Could

you post your configuration? Do all the files and directories named in
it=20
exist?

Cheers, Chris.
