i've been in the situation where i'm backing up a machine to another and the backup gets cut in the middle. usually since the boxes are across the continent from each other, the network has a hiccup. since my backup jobs are cron'd, after that first interrupted backup, it fails to backup subsequent backups. i have to completely rm -rf the directory on the machine receiving the backup and start over again.
You should only have to remove the rdiff-backup-data dir.
what can i do on either end so that backups recover from interrupted backups?
if you only remove the rdiff-backup-data dir and use --force, then it will get recreated and the intitial backup will have a better chance of completing. Then the increments shouldn't take too long.
