Re: [rdiff-backup-users] AssertionError: Found too many current_mirror incs!

[Kevin Prichard]

Hi Ben, thanks for the prompt, courteous response!

I may be confusing terms.  I have many incremental backups within the backup
directory, about 48 (I'm counting files that start with "increments.").

If a current_mirror inc is not an increment (sounds like not), then what can I
do about restoring it to one?  The backup runs on a cron, so two at once isn't
really possible.  Perhaps the backup failed for reasons unknown and left the
current_mirror incs state at 2?

How to restore it to 1?

Thanks,

Kevin Prichard
