 Undo last backup
Is there a way to undo the last rdiff-backup (as if it didn't happen)?
I
know that when a backup fails, the last backup is removed so I was
thinking
there may be a way to trigger this.
you could try remove the current_mirror marker file in the
rdiff-backup-data directory.
move it out the way as a test then try the backup again.
it should regress the filesystem I think
That didn't work.
When I move the 'current_mirror' file out of the directory then try the
'rdiff-backup -l ..' command it gives me this:
Fatal Error: Bad rdiff-backup-data dir on destination side
The rdiff-backup data directory
/mirror2/home2/rdiff-backup-data
exists, but we cannot find a valid current_mirror marker. You can
avoid this message by removing the rdiff_backup_data directory;
however any data in it will be lost.
Probably this error was caused because the first rdiff-backup session
into a new directory failed. If this is the case it is safe to delete
the rdiff_backup_data directory because there is no important
information in it.
Normally, a 'rdiff-backup -l ..' on a backup that fails will try
to repair the backup by removing last one.
