Listing the increments in a backup directory while an other backup is in progress give the following error:
rdiff-backup -l host::/path/to/backup Fatal Error: Previous backup to /path/to/backup seems to have failed. Rerun rdiff-backup with --check-destination-dir option to revert directory to state before unsuccessful session. The message is confusing, since the previous backup hasn't failed, but it just hasn't finished yet. Beside, I am not sure if doing other operation (like delete old increments) while a backup is in progress is safe. If not, it might be useful to implement a lock system, to prevent two different rdiff-backup processes to modify a backup directory simultaneously.
