thanks!
i think i had read something like "oh, it`s dangerous, don`t touch this" - but
if it`s like you tell some tool for supporting this will probably show up
sooner or later :)
anyway - does somebody have a clue what has gone wrong with this one and how to
manually fix this ?
rdiff-backup -l --list-increment-sizes ./rdiff-backup-repo

i have investigated into this for quite a while (also searched the metadata),
but haven`t found any hint why the last backup shows up twice.
what file/entry could be responsible for this ?

roland
ps:
i haven`t touched this backup for a while because of this, started a new
repository because of this.
