Hi,
you've probaby got _two_ `current_mirror` files in your repository,
which signals that a backup is either running or has been interrupted.
Assuming the latter, the proper way to fix is to run first `rdiff-backup
regress `/mnt/uSbdisk/FOLDER` (it can take a while), then use
rdiff-backup-delete to remove the unwanted files.
Hope this helps, Eric

Hello
when running "rdiff-backup-delete" an error message pops up:
fail to acquired repository lock. A backup may be running.
However, there is no other backup, neither
rdiff-backup nor rdiff-backup-delete.
Trying to indentify a LOCK file, for example by
find /mnt/uSbdisk/FOLDER/rdiff-backup-data -iname "*lock* | grep -vi 'block'
does not show me a LOCK file.
How to drop the mysterious LOCK file?
Best regards
Dieter
