Not necessarily, maybe the metadata file didn't get flushed before the
backed failed.  rdiff-backup regresses from the most recent
current_mirror to the older one.  It seems you have a good 1:30
backup, and then an aborted 1:45 one.  So I would try putting the
current mirror files at 1:45 and 1:30, and then regressing.
