Actually things a bit more complicated than that. The backup is big (45GB) and there is already an rsync of it on the server, so I don't want to redo it all. So what I did was to rdiff-backup /backup/foo /backup2/bar on the backup server... This way i have an initial backup to work with. > then just delete > target/rdiff-backup-data ... next time you can add "--force" to the > rdiff-backup command and it will continue where it left off...
