Re: PITR on Win32 - Archive and Restore

Christian,

what you have not done is to follow the context of the discussion. This
command is a configuration option, and thus executed with a system()
call. We do not have the luxury of hardcoding it available to us.

Note that system() actually calls cmd.exe, so your previous comment
about needing to use cmd /c is also wrong.

cheers
