Bye the way: What about upgrades on the server-side? E.g. I am running
currently 1.0.0, but there are newer versions (1.0.4, 1.1.5) - can one
expect that one can re-use the existing backups? Or should one 'backup
the backups' and start with an empty directory for new backups?
And I have some additional feature-requests:
(1) As far as I saw, there is no 'ls'-Feature, e.g.
rdiff-backup --ls-at-time 2006-01-19 /backups/daute
should output something like "ls -la /backups/daute" at a previous time.
(2) rdiff-Backup should be able to parse the date-formats from the own
output. E.g. rdiff-backup --list-increment-sizes outputs something like
"Sun Jan 22 00:05:04 2006 4.08 GB 4.08 GB (current mirror)", then
rdiff-backup --list-at-time "Sun Jan 22 00:05:04 2006" /path/to/backup
should work...
Bye. Wolfgang
