Hi, Dave is right, in theory rdiff-backup doesn't like other things writing to the destination directory. However, if you just keep --exclude'ing the lost+found directory, I think that should work. In practice rdiff-backup will just read the mirror_metadata file, and won't notice if the lost+found directory comes back. -- Ben Escoto
