I have clients that back up large data sets over the internet. The
initial backup is always difficult, since rdiff-backup does not handle
it well when the initial backup fails. If it fails, subsequent backups
display an error saying that the initial backup probably failed, and it
should be removed.
My question is this: couldn't rdiff-backup detect this and handle it
automatically? I've added code to my private branch that checks if there
is no current mirror and one or fewer error_log and mirror_metadata
files. If so, it removes them and runs normally. Does this seem like a
reasonable way to handle it? If so, I'd be happy to submit a patch
implementing it.
Thanks,
JoshN
