Hi all:
I have a big set of backup files on a slow USB drive (my Linux laptop
only has USB 2.0 ports). In order to quickly update the backup, I have
been using rsync in "look only at modification time" mode.
Now I wish to switch to rdiff-backup. The destination directory already
contains an exact copy of the source directory, but is missing the
'rdiff-backup-data' directory, so I am getting error "Bad directory
/home/rdiez/blah/blah. It doesn't appear to be an rdiff-backup
destination dir".
I don't want to copy all files again, as it would take hours. Is there a
way to tell rdiff-backup to regenerate the 'rdiff-backup-data' directory?
By the way, this is the little wrapper script that I am using:
https://github.com/rdiez/Tools/blob/master/BackupFiles/update-backup-mirror-by-modification-time.sh
Thanks in advance,
rdiez
