<li><strong>For some reason rdiff-backup failed
while backing up. Now every time it runs it says "regressing
destination" and then fails again. What should I do?</strong>
<P>Firstly, this shouldn't happen. If it does, it indicates a
corrupted destination directory, a bug in rdiff-backup, or some other
serious recurring problem.</p>
<p>However, here is a workaround that you might want to use, even
though it probably won't solve the underlying problem: In the
destination's rdiff-backup-data directory, there should be two
"current_mirror" files, for instance
current_mirror.2003-09-08T04:22:01-07:00.data and
current_mirror.2003-09-07T16:43:00-07:00.data. Just delete the one
with the earlier date. The next time rdiff-backup runs it won't try
regressing the destination.
