Quick-n-dirty method would be to search for files under your 
rdiff-backup target directory in the "rdiff-backup-data/" folder.  Files 
like current_mirror.2013-11-08T01:30:01-05:00.data or 
error_log.2013-11-08T01:30:01-05:00.data.

Note that unless you do a --verify-at-now on the backup target 
directory, there's no guarantee that the "current_mirror*.data" file is 
a correct backup.
