Right now, rdiff-backup stops with its > 'too many increments' faults. The script expects to find either 1 or 2 'current_mirror' files and will abort otherwise. If you reduce the number of current_mirror files to 2 you can just run rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir and bypass my script. However I don't know whether you will end up with a consistent archive or not. After successful completion (if you see this) I suggest running several verifications (rdiff-backup --verify-at-time), starting with 'now' and then trying earlier dates. _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
