Hmm, That may be it, because the zgrep command turns up SHA1 digests in some of the files. Honestly, I have only been using rdiff-backup for a year, I dont think I had any of the 1.0.x versions but I obviously did. So there IS some SHA1 info .do I have to blow away my whole backup and re-do it to get the rest of the files done?

I run it like rdiff-backup verify /path/to/mirror/ Is this correct? Maybe thats my problem? I just couldnt find any usage information. Yes, that syntax is correct. Do I have to enable the SHA1 digest storage somehow? No, there is no configuration option. Thinking about it some more, I think the answer could be simple. Did you originally use rdiff-backup 1.0.x ? And have recently upgraded to 1.2.x ? If so, then rdiff-backup woul d only be storing SHA1 sums for the new and updated files. ACCPACPL.PIF was last modified in the 1990's, so it wouldn't have a SHA1 sum if it was first backed-up with 1.0.x. If you look in the mirror_metadata file again, do you see any lines that start " SHA1Digest" ... ? eg: $ zgrep SHA1Digest /path/to/mirror/rdiff-backup-data/mirror_metadata.*.snapshot.gz Andrew
