[rdiff-backup-users] make a copy of rdiff-backup'ed directory

[Bas van den Heuvel]

Hello There,

I'm using rdiff-backup to backup serveral internet hosts.
Now I'm trying to backup the rdiff-backup data to another server on a 
different location so that when a server burns down or a nuclear meltdown 
occurs I can recover from the copied directory.

I tried to copy the directory with rsync -caz /dir remote:/dir, but when I try 
to get an incremental list on the remote I get this error

rdiff-backup -l /dir

Fatal Error: Previous backup to /data/backup/garisson_home/vsic/vsic01 seems 
to have failed.
Rerun rdiff-backup with the --check-destination-dir option to revert directory 
to state before unsuccessful session.

Am I overlooking something ?

Thanks in advance.
