[rdiff-backup-users] continuing halted backup

[Noah]

Hi there,

I am backing up 41GB of data and due to a netowrk error my stream was
interrupted.  is there any way to continue this halted backup?

the error message I am seeing is:

--- snip ---

# ./backup.sh
Fatal Error: Bad rdiff-backup-data dir on destination side

The rdiff-backup data directory
/home/backup/bogushostname/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.

Probably this error was caused because the first rdiff-backup session
into a new directory failed.  If this is the case it is safe to delete
the rdiff_backup_data directory because there is no important
information in it.

--- snip ---

cheers,

Noah
