The --compare option needs to find an rdiff-backup-data/mirror_metadata.xxx file, dated to the time you are comparing. I'm not sure why it's missing from your system. One possibility is that the repository was made by an older version (before 0.11.x?) , which did not write a mirror_metadata file. The new devel version has a few more compare options, some of which don't need a mirror_metadata file, but the stable version only does the "fast" compare, which requires that file. -- Ben Escoto
