[rdiff-backup-users] delete initial mirror

[plug bert]

Hello All,

  Is it possible to delete the initial mirror made by rdiff-backup after an 
incremental backup is made?


  We're looking into ways of performing incremental backups for mbox-style 
mailboxes; is this setup possible:

Sunday: make an initial mirror
Monday - Saturday: schedule incremental backup, *delete* initial mirror

Sunday: make initial mirror(i.e. reformat the mirror drive, start from scratch)

Monday - Saturday : incremental backup again


    Let's say someone deleted a file on Wednesday; *without* the initial 
mirror, is it possible to restore the file?
