Oliver, If you don't care about maintaining the rdiff-backup history, I believe you can simply: 1) delete all of the rdiff-backup-data directories 2) merge all of the repositories with the 'mv' command into the new structure for the destination 3) run the new rdiff-backup command, but add the --force the first time. This will cause rdiff-backup to use the existing files as the start of the repository. Try searching the mailing list for people doing similar things in the past.
