[rdiff-backup-users] Are my backups too corrupted to recover?

[Greg Freemyer]

I was shuffling things around and may have broke my backup directory.
I would like to recover it if it can be done relatively easily.

Any clue how to restore functionality short of destroying my backup
directory and recreating it?

See results below

# rdiff-backup --version
rdiff-backup 1.2.6

+ rdiff-backup -v5 --print-statistics --exclude /data/EDD-Batches
/data //backup/data-rdiff

Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
