Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 0.10.1-3
Severity: normal
I have a backup system which iterates over a number of directories and uses
rdiff-backup to make backups of them. Occasionally, a new directory is
added to the batch.
I would like to, after each run, use --remove-older-than to trim the oldest
of the backups, and keep a rolling archive of the last <period of time>.
When I add a new directory, though (or if I were to increase the period of
time), rdiff-backup blows up, saying (e.g.):
Fatal Error: No increments older than Tue Apr 15 11:08:15 2003 found
It seems like this should not be an error condition; there is simply nothing
to be deleted, and I do not need to receive mail from cron telling me about
this.
