Hello Stephen
Of course you do realise (now!) that you must never delete stuff from an
active repository by using rm...
Assuming you still have, somewhere else, the directory that you deleted
from your repository, I would suggest that you copy this back into the
repository, then run rdiff-backup with --check-destination-dir. It might
work it might not. If you haven't got this file anywhere then you could
carry on using rdiff-backup and ignore these error messages. I
think/hope that rdiff-backup will carry on working fine with the rest of
the data in the repository.

Hi all,
I recently deleted a folder from my rdiff-backup repository using
$ rm -rf foldername
Running rdiff-backup after having done this generates following error.
A regular file was indicated by the metadata, but could not be
constructed from existing increments because last increment had type
None. Instead of the actual file's data, an empty length file will be
created. This error is probably caused by data loss in the
rdiff-backup destination directory, or a bug in rdiff-backup
Warning: Could not restore file Music/music_27.mp3!
There are many other similar warnings being displayed, this is just an
example.
Any suggestions on how I clean this up ?
Thanks,
Stephen.
