Backup Central

Hi all,

Is there a way to convert an existing data set, such as might be
produced by rsync, to an rdiff-backup data set.

The rational behind this is that I already have a large amount of data
in an rsync mirror, but want to convert it to rdiff-backup without
having to take the significant time and bandwidth to rdiff-backup the
data from the source from scratch.

Cheers,
Craig

Yes.

Create a directory "rdiff-backup-data" in the root of you mirror
(alternative: use --force). Then you can just use it as a rdiff-backup
destination and it will take advantage of the already-existing data.
