Re: cross-platform backup tool Duplicate timestamp date after copying rdiff-backup repository.
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.

cross-platform backup tool Duplicate timestamp date after copying rdiff-backup repository.
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.
