Re: [rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup-data upgrade compatibility

[Josh Nisly]

I've had very good success with doing this - I've actually never had a 
problem. The first time you run it, you may get a warning like "Warning: 
access control list file not found.", but rdiff-backup will 
automatically create the file going forward, and you shouldn't see the 
error again.
