Hello Dominic,
I did not run "--check-destination-dir" right after deleting the
"current_mirror". I try to run it after making a backup.
This morning I had:
current_mirror.2015-08-24T01:12:31-04:00.data
current_mirror.2015-09-14T19:37:48-04:00.data
The last successful backup seams to be "2015-08-24T01:12:31-04:00".
I delete "current_mirror.2015-09-14T19:37:48-04:00.data". Then I ran
"rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir":
$ rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir ~/ikus060-rdiff/
Fatal Error: Destination dir /home/ikus060/ikus060-rdiff does not need
checking
I believe something is wrong...
BTW, I see alot of files related to "2015-09-14T19:37:48-04:00" in
rdiff-backup-data: file_statistics, increments, mirror_metadata. I also see
some files related to "2015-09-14T19:00:02-04:00". Should I delete all of
them ? I know the last successfule backup is "2015-08-24".
