Why? Unless you made some really silly use of mount points and raync
target directories, all the stuff is in a single directory, just on the
wrong disk. Delete that nad you're running again, so maybe you want to
restart a few services.

Btw I can really only recommend to use rsnapshot, it has too many
advantages. It would probably have errored out on this one as a sdide
effect.
