Then, whenever you use rdiff-backup to back up from a unix system to
Windows, use the <strong>--windows-mode</strong> switch. This
compensates for some windows file systems' inability to store hard
links, symlinks, device files, sockets, fifos, case sensitive
filenames, and filenames with colons (":") in them. (Note: device
files, symlinks, fifos, and sockets will simply be skipped, and hard
link information will not be recorded.)

trying to make increment files with colons in them. Whichever
--windows* option you use, remember to use the same one when restoring
or listing that backup directory.
