It looks as if rdiff-backup thinks I want to restore rather than a backup. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can overcome this problem? I could temporarily move the rdiff-backup-data directory before I perform the offsite backup then move it back it after I'm done but that seems hacky.

I do this by keeping my rdiff-backup repos in a container directory:
/storage/machinename/jobname/rdiff-backup-data

then for offsite backups, I backup machinename.
this also allows more jobs per machine (maybe for data and OS etc)

thanks
