Yes, I thought the repository was moving. If you just copy the files normally, all the mtimes and such will be off, so rdiff-backup will think all of your files have changed the next session. The first new backup will take a long time, but the total size of the increments should not be very large. If you copy everything over exactly rdiff-backup may think nothing has changed so there will be no problems. However, copying at least changes the device/inode numbers, so any hardlinked files will be marked as changed. -- Ben Escoto
