Hi,

Has anyone been able to backup a Windows machine using rdiff, or other tool, that also preserves the meta data and allows restoring the VM?

there is no way to.
 From Windows to Windows this might be OK though.

Hi,

Regarding the backups made to the Windows fs using rdiff ... does rdiff
preserve Windows ACLs and all those permissions?  What about hidden
files, or files with different permissions between incremental backups?

Sorry for replying so late.

Paul
