Dear List, I keep getting errors "SHA1 digest doesnt't match" in verification caused by some files that are not important to me. However, these errors are quite a bit nasty because they make the verification cronjobs send me e-mails.
As far as I understood the documentation of RDiff, in order do completely remove given files and all of ist traces from a rdiff repository, I have to 1) delete the file in the mirrordata 2) delete all the increment and other files in the respective folder oft the rdiff-backup-data/increments folder 3) traverse all the metadata snapshots and mirrors and remove any traces oft hat file. Is this assumption correct? Now, here's the main question: Is there a command for rdiff that does the job automatically? Especially traversing all the metadata can be a pain in the ass even for one single file to remove. The best implementation would be something like the include/exclude syntax which then is matched throughout all of the three steps above. Optionally, it would be great to leave the rdiff repository in an recognizably intermediate state, that can be regressed if the operation fails, but this is not important (shouls be just common sense to keep a copy of your repository when performing such operations). If there is no commandline parameter that does the job (I have not found any), then I would like to request the feature ... :-) Cheers, David. ---------8<-------------------------------------------------------- David Kriesel http://www.dkriesel.com Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn (University of Bonn) Department of Computer Science I Computational Geometry Römerstr. 164 53117 Bonn Germany Personal: Graurheindorfer Str. 75 D-53111 Bonn Germany Phone: +49 177 423 4223 Current geographical location in Google Earth: N 50°44'42.45" E 7° 5'44.09" (just to be copied in the search field) _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
