Re: [rdiff-backup-users] rdiff on rdiff

[Dominic Ferard]

The only thing to avoid is having a directory called 'rdiff-backup-data' 
directly off the root directory of the source. Because when you use 
rdiff-backup it creates such a directory in the destination and uses it 
to keep old versions of files. Otherwise I *think* it should be fine...
