I'm having trouble restoring a particular increment. The rdiff-backup
file shows I did a backup on 2025-05-04. Yet:
eric@fedora:/run/media/eric$ sudo rdiff-backup restore --at 2025-05-04
"run/media/eric/backup 202025-02/XPS-2025-02/var/www/html" /var/www/html
[sudo] password for eric:
WARNING: Server will be called with deprecated command line interface to

avoid it.

Yet that location clearly exists:
