Backup Central

If I understand the question, then all you need to do is to look
at the various files listed within the pertinent sub-tree found
under <backup-dir>/rdiff-backup-data/increments/<path to sub-tree>.

I've got a directory that seems to be missing some files.

I don't recall their names or exactly when they existed.

rdiff-backup -l --list-increment-sizes<path-to-backup-dir>

shows me that I have about 10 instances of that directory backup up.

Is there some way to get a list of every file that I've ever backed up
for that directory tree? Even if I see the same file 10 times, I'm
happy. I just want to see all the files.

Thanks
Greg

Hi Greg,

I don't think there is a single command to list all of them, but you
could run one or more

'rdiff-backup --list-at-time foo D <path-to-pertinent-backup-dir>'

to get a listing of said dir at time foo. So if you repeat that for all
ten $foo dates you have, you list all files you've backed up there.

If you don't mind using a web application rather than CLI, have you
considered rdiffWeb? In each directory this shows all files that ever
existed as well as the currently-existing ones, and you can
click'n'choose which revision to retrieve.

I don't know how rdiffWeb does this 'under the hood' but I guess it
calls some of rdiff-backup's internal functions (rdiffWeb, like
rdiff-backup, is a python app).
