[rdiff-backup-users] Switching between compressed and uncompressed increments

[Bret Martin]

I know that one can switch between using --no-compression and the
default on different rdiff-backup runs to the same destination directory
with no ill effects.

Is it safe to do either or both of these things to convert an
rdiff-backup directory between having compressed and uncompressed
increments?

        find destination_dir/rdiff-backup-data/increments \
                -name "*.diff.gz" -exec gunzip -v {} \;

        find destination_dir/rdiff-backup-data/increments \
                -name "*.diff" -exec gzip -v {} \;

Thanks,
