Hi! Now and then, my backup server's diskspace gets full, and this most often happens during a backup. This means I have to run a rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir which takes some time. Also, due to restrictions in the setup, I have to login to the backup server and do this by hand.
Would it be possible for rdiff-backup to make an estimation of how much space is needed, and exit with a warning about this instead of messing up the destination directory after an unclean exit due to full disk? I understand that this might be less than trivial due to the compression, but in my case, an estimation would be good enough, something like "Uh-oh.. i need to store 2Gb uncompressed, there's only 1.5G left, that'll probably not succeed. Cowardly exiting".
