Thanks for doing the update David.  I upgraded to rdiff-backup-2.0.0-1 
and found that running "rdiff-backup --help" produced

    Exception 'name 'local' is not defined' raised of class '<class
    'NameError'>':
       File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py",
    line 391, in error_check_Main
         Main(arglist)
       File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py",
    line 406, in Main
         local.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

    Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 32, in <module>
         rdiff_backup.Main.error_check_Main(sys.argv[1:])
       File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py",
    line 391, in error_check_Main
         Main(arglist)
       File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py",
    line 406, in Main
         local.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
    NameError: name 'local' is not defined

Attempting a real use of rdiff-backup gave a similar result. Looking at 
the rdiff-backup source in github as well as the python 3.6 docs, it 
looks you added line 406 in Main.py and I think it has a typo.  "local" 
should be "locale".

BTW, I was playing around with rdiff-backup 1.2.8-6 a couple days ago, 
and while it seemed to work fine when the destination was on a local 
drive, I couldn't figure out how to get it to work when the destination 
is a network share If I specify the destination as 
'//192.168.1.250/finance-backup/finance.rdiff-backup' I get:

      Fatal Error: Unable to create directory
    /192.168.1.250/finance-backup/finance.rdiff-backup

but "mkdir //192.168.1.250/finance-backup/finance.rdiff-backup" works fine.

If I specify the destination as 
'\\192.168.1.250\finance-backup\finance.rdiff-backup' I get:

Would you have any suggestions about how to put the output on a network 
share?

Also, if you don't use rdiff-backup any more, have you found something 
you like better?
