[rdiff-backup-users] failure after hitting ctrl+c

[dave]

Hey,
I am running rdiff-backup 0.12.0

I killed a backup by doing ctrl-c and it refused to resume:

Regular copying ('Data', 'Common', 'Finances', '2002 Calendar Year
Reports', 'Sept02 to Aug03 High School Budget 231002.xls') to
/dump/backups/studentexchange/Data/Common/Finances/2002 Calendar Year
Reports/rdiff-backup.tmp.2
Killed by signal 2.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 24, in ?
    rdiff_backup.Main.Main(sys.argv[1:])

I started it again:


firewall:~# rdiff-backup --force -v6 --exclude
/mnt/server-data/ddrive/Data/Exchsrvr/ /mnt/server-data/ddrive/
deewhy.netline.net.au::/dump/backups/studentexchange
Executing ssh -C deewhy.netline.net.au rdiff-backup --server
Fatal Error: Bad rdiff-backup-data dir on destination side

The rdiff-backup data directory
/dump/backups/studentexchange/rdiff-backup-data
exists, but we cannot find a valid current_mirror marker.  You can
avoid this message by removing this directory; however any data in it
will be lost.

Cleaning up


How do I get around this error?
I wouldn't mind to be able to stop a backup in progress and not have to
destroy the rdiff-backup-data directory.
