Package: rdiff-backup Version: 1.2.1-1 Severity: important This was already reported in the (closed) bug report #493373. Since it just happened to me with version 1.2.1 (both machines up-to-date lenny, doing a remote backup), I submit a new report.
What happened: I did an initial backup locally. Then before trying the first remote backup, I manually changed the UID/GUID on all files in the backup (probably not the best idea. I did it anyway.). The first backup after that failed because of network troubles. When I tried to restart the backup, I got the following exception: Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
