Hello,
Today, I used "--remove-older-than" for the first time. It responded
with this:
==========================================================
address@hidden backup]# rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 1M /backup/host
Fatal Error: Found 53 relevant increments, dated:

If you want to delete multiple increments in this way, use the --force.
==========================================================
Is this normal?
If yes, then I guess that the "--force" flag is most often needed if
clean-ups are not run after each backup?
