The rdiff-backup archive structure is already a rather fragile ad-hoc
database with single points of failure. If you lose the current
mirror_metadata file, the entire history is unrecoverable and you
are left with just the current mirror and whatever file attributes
are compatible with the filesystem of the archive.
