rdiff-backup: error: argument action: invalid choice: 'testingbackup' (choose from 'backup', 'calculate', 'compare',
'complete', 'info', 'list', 'regress', 'remove', 'restore', 'server', 'test', 'verify')

rdiff-backup -v9 --print-statistics testingbackup testingbackup-backup
WARNING: this command line interface is deprecated and will disappear, start using the new one as described with '--new
