Hi all,
I'm an happy rdiff-backup user for many years.
Years ago I setup a rdiff-backup from a WWW server to a local server.
Internet connection is limited to 2Mbps between the 2 servers.
As /var/www was initially empty, rdiff-backup as done its backup job
everyday without problem, with many sites added in /var/www.
Now /var/www is 14G large and I need to fresh start the backup
(destination directory has been deleted).
Bad thing is that trying to first sync source and destination via the
command :
nice -n 19 rdiff-backup --force $SOURCE $DEST::$DESTDIR
always ends with network (Internet error) like these :
Found interrupted initial backup. Removing...
Write failed: Broken pipe
Fatal Error: Lost connection to the remote system
What would be proper way to first sync rdiff-backup ?
Would a previous rsync help, so that only meta-datas would be written by
rdiff ?
Take a look here:

FILE SELECTION
I would use the --include-filelist option and associated file to have
rdiff back up /var/www a subdirectory at a time. In other words add a
subdirectory to the file and run rdiff. After that completes, add
another subdirectory and rerun, etc. Basically build up the destination
directory incrementally.
Thanks in advance for your thought.
Nicolas
