Bye the way: What about upgrades on the server-side? E.g. I am running 
currently 1.0.0, but there are newer versions (1.0.4, 1.1.5) - can one 
expect that one can re-use the existing backups? Or should one 'backup 
the backups' and start with an empty directory for new backups?

And I have some additional feature-requests:

(1) As far as I saw, there is no 'ls'-Feature, e.g.
rdiff-backup --ls-at-time 2006-01-19 /backups/daute
should output something like "ls -la /backups/daute" at a previous time.

(2) rdiff-Backup should be able to parse the date-formats from the own 
output. E.g. rdiff-backup --list-increment-sizes outputs something like 
"Sun Jan 22 00:05:04 2006     4.08 GB     4.08 GB   (current mirror)", then
rdiff-backup --list-at-time "Sun Jan 22 00:05:04 2006" /path/to/backup
should work...

Bye. Wolfgang
