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.
<pre>current_mirror.2003-09-07T16:43:00-07:00.data
current_mirror.2003-09-08T04:22:01-07:00.data</pre>
Delete the one with the earlier date. Also move the mirror_metadata
file with the later date out of the way, because it probably didn't
get written correctly because that session was aborted:
<pre>mv mirror_metadata.2003-09-08T04:22:01-07:00.snapshot.gz \
aborted-metadata.2003-09-08T04:22:01-07:00.snapshot.gz</pre>
The next time rdiff-backup runs it won't try regressing the
destination. Metadata will be read from the file system, which may
result in some extra files being backed up, but there shouldn't be any
data loss.</p>
