I believe this is intended behaviour. The backups are mean to be
atomic. Thus its not possible to restore increments inside the time it
takes to backup (ie while the backup is running).
Can you elaborate on this, please? I don't understand what's technically
preventing rdiff-backup from letting me restore a backup from (for
instance) a given date. As far as I understand, rdiff already has all
the data it needs to do a restore, and since it should be a read-only
operation, I don't understand how that would impact or corrupt the
ongoing backup process.
