Question..

I'm using rdiff-backup 1.0.0 (no patches)
The backups were ONLY created with 1.0.0

For machines A, B and C,
   - I've done a backup from A to B
   - then I'm doing a restore from B to C

The first restore from B to C is transfering every file from A's backup to the system, C (I think every file.. looks like it at least) Then when it's done if I immediately do the same restore it copies everything again.. as if it's not seeing that all the files are then same as on the destination.
Running on B, the restore command line looks like:

rdiff-backup -v5 --print-statistics --exclude-device-files --exclude-filelist ../../bin/exclude.lst --exclude-globbing-filelist ../../bin/exclude.additionally_when_restoring.lst --restore-as-of 0D --force . address@hidden::/

Is --force the problem? I thought that makes it delete on the destination what didn't exist on the source which is how I want it to behave.

Any ideas?

Please Help,
  Davy
