Thank you, that must be it!
It didn't occur to me that files are also deleted during a backup.
Good luck and happy holidays!

Hi Reio,
You need to delete files from the destination that have been removed
from the source, especially the current_mirror file.
Use rsync with --delete to do that.
Thanks, Chris.

Hello!
I'm migrating my backups from an LVM volume to ZFS dataset,
however after rsyncing the data over, I'm getting the following error:
$ rdiff-backup --verify backup-zfs/hostname
Warning, two different times for current mirror found
Fatal Error: Metadata file
'/mnt/backup-zfs/hostname/rdiff-backup-data/mirror_metadata.2021-12-23T06:17:32+02:00.diff.gz'
has a duplicate timestamp date, you might not be able to recover
files on or earlier than this date. Check the man page on how to
clean up your repository using the '--allow-duplicate-timestamps'
option.
I'm unsure what to make of it or how to avoid it.
I used the following rsync command to copy the data:
rsync -avhA --progress --stats backup/ backup-zfs/
It seems that it breaks when I run rsync again after an initial
run and when data has changed at the source by then.
Thanks!
